Durango Geologists Assess Mountain Slide Threat
In Durango Colorado the moving Carbon and Smelter mountains prompt a local geological probe. Aames Wigglesworth of the University of Colorado notes the event is regional in impact unlikely to trigger broad landslides toward the Animas valley. He describes burning coal vein indicators and shale movement causing the ramp and Cedar cliff formation to shed hundreds of thousands of tons toward the valley. Trees uproot as debris advances southeast, with the peak inclined at 28 degrees offering a key to the phenomenon.
