Glacier polish, striae, and grooves above the head of Kern Canyon. Sequoia National Park, California. 1935. Sequoia National Park, California. Glacier polish, striae, and grooves above the head of Kern Canyon. The rock is aplite, which weathers more slowly than the coarser granite and, therefore, holds its glacial markings longer. Since being glaciated, the aplite has been somewhat disrupted into angular blocks by repeated frost action. Circa 1935. Figure 23, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 504-A.

These have been truncated by the development of the trough containing the lakes. For lakes compare 2401 and 2402; for the head troughs compare 2411 and 2414. Fresno County, California. 1904.

Sequoia National Park, California. The largest and most perfectly formed avalanche chute in the park, viewed from the High Sierra Trail east of the camp in Bearpaw Meadow. Like its smaller companion, this chute is carved in massive exfoliating granite and terminates at the brink of the glacial U-shaped canyon below. The downward narrowing of the chute is explained by the protection given to the lower part of the chute by a snow cone on the surface of the glacier which lays in the canyon. Circa 1935.

Sequoia National Park, California. 1935. Sequoia National Park, California. East face of Mount Hitchcock. The entire mountain has a vertically sheeted structure, and infiltration of water and consequent frost action are facilitated along the weaker zones. There the rock is split into thin plates and slivers; the fragments loosened by frost are then swept down by avalanches. These chutes stand in marked contrast to those shown in photo mfe01060, which are not controlled by fractures but are worn in massive granite. Circa 1935.

Sequoia National Park, California. 1935. Sequoia National Park, California. West across the canyon of Marble Fork Kaweah River, showing one of the great cliffs of white marble from which the stream takes its name. The cliff is cut from a vertical bed of marble transected by the canyon. To the left of the marble bed are thin beds of various dark-hued metamorphic rocks. All of these strata are the stubs of a huge fold that probably once rose to a height of several thousand feet, but whether the upper portion of the fold (anticline) lay to the right or left is unknown. Circa 1935.

Sequoia National Park, California. No Date. Sequoia National Park, California. Sheer cliffs 2,000 to 2,400 feet high, north of Hamilton Lake (just out of view). At the lower right is a stretch of the trail leading to Kaweah Gap. The cliffs owe their remarkable columnar forms mainly to a vertically sheeted structure, which has permitted the incision of sharp gullies along narrow zones of intense fracturing. The erosional work has been done by avalanches of snow and by water from rain and snow carrying loosened rock grains. The white cliff on the right is composed of wholly undivided massive granite.

Sequoia National Park, California. 1935. Sequoia National Park, California. Concrete steps have been built along the broken edge of the curving top shell of Moro Rock. This shell is already cracked in a number of places, and some of the fragments have slid a short distance as a result of gravity and pressure exerted by ice forming in the fractures. Circa 1935.

The barrier consists of essentially unfractured, massive granite which the glacier could not quarry away block by block, but could only grind and polish.

Sequoia National Park, California. 1936. Sequoia National Park, California. The most perfectly formed avalanche chute in the park, viewed from the High Sierra Trail east of the camp in Bearpaw Meadow. This chute is carved in massive exfoliating granite and terminates at the brink of the glacial U-shaped canyon below. The downward narrowing of the chute is explained by the protection given to the lower part of the chute by a snow cone on the surface of the glacier which lays in the canyon. Meltwater cascading from the snow in the chute has carved a gulch beneath it. The scales on the granite in the chute are produced by exfoliation and are purely superficial features. 1936.
