माउटन इसके अंग्रेजी अर्थ का उदाहरण

Tributaries of the Mississippi River In glaciology, a roche moutonnée (or sheepback) is a rock formation created by the passing of a glacier.

The 18th-century Alpine explorer Horace-Bénédict de Saussure coined the term roches moutonnées in 1786.

He saw in these rocks a resemblance to the wigs that were fashionable amongst French gentry in his era and which were smoothed over with mutton fat (hence moutonnée) so as to keep the hair in place.

The contrasting appearance of the erosional stoss and lee aspects is very defined on roches moutonnées; all the sides and edges have been smoothed and eroded in the direction travelled by the glacier that once passed over it.

Prest (1983) specifies a distinction between a glaciated "roches moutonnées surface" and a simple "stoss and lee" glacial feature.

He says that the term "roches moutonnées surface" has been abused in the literature in which the term became interchangeable with the term "stoss and lee".

He points out that a "roches moutonnées surface" is a continuous bedrock surface having a resemblance to the continuous, wavy or undulating rows of curls seen in French wigs at the time of Horace de Saussure while a simple stoss and lee feature refers only to a bedrock knob having a smooth stoss side and a plucked lee side appearance.

Roches moutonnées may not be entirely glacial landforms, taking most of their shape before glaciation.

Jointing that contribute to the shape typically predate glaciation and roches moutonnee-like forms can be found in tropical areas such as East Africa and Australia.

Further, at Ivö Klack in Sweden, weathered rock surfaces exposed by kaolin mining resemble roches moutonnées.
