  Scree Summary
Scree or detritic cone is a term given to broken rock that appears at the bottom of crags, mountain cliffs or valley shoulders.
The formation of scree is often a result of frost heaving, one of the physical erosion processes that slowly wear mountains down.
For mountaineers screes may be a danger to break one's legs.

Slope form and evolution are related to the balance between weathering and transport of material, or erosion.
Weathering produces scree and fragments from physical processes, and particularly attacks well-jointed and very granular rocks.
Many breccias are sedimentary and accumulate, after very little transportation, as screes at the foot of cliffs in mountainous regions or on bold...

 Scree Slopes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Scree slopes occur as large areas of loose rock.
Usually there is hardly any vegetation on scree slopes as the material is very mobile.
These are dams at both sides of a debris flow track that develope as the power to transport material decreases at the sides thus material is deposited there.

The largest blocks are found at and beyond the base of the talus slope because these blocks have the greatest momentum as they bounce, roll and slide down the slope.
In his classic study in the Karkevagge in northern Sweden, Rapp(1960) measured rates of rock fall by gathering and measuring daily the clasts on the surfaces of snow patches that had fallen from cliffs the day before.
There is a clear distinction, however, between the volume of scree in vegetated talus slopes inside and outside the limits of the Loch Lomond Stadial glaciers in the Cairngorms.

A faithful and fascinating adaptation of the book by the same name, The Scree, whilst not comedic in nature, is another interesting adventure into Paul McDermott's mind.
The Scree was beautifully narrated by Ruth Cracknell (may she rest in peace).
I would recommend reading the book before seeing the film, purely for the fun of seeing the pictures come to life - McDermott's illustrations in some places have been taken directly from the book (not surprising, considering he directed it, and obviously had a particular vision for each stanza).

Scree deposits are aggregations of small, loose rock debris, found at the base of steep inclines or cliffs.
They are unique growing mediums for plants, and the conditions in which these plants grow may in many ways be quite limiting.
Their low profile also helps to limit damage caused by wind.

Cattell (1966) proposed that this scree plot can be used to graphically determine the optimal number of factors to retain.
The scree test involves finding the place where the smooth decrease of eigenvalues appears to level off to the right of the plot.
To the right of this point, presumably, one finds only "factorial scree" -- "scree" is the geological term referring to the debris which collects on the lower part of a rocky slope.
