Si tratta di un’area di passo alpino, caratterizzataprincipalmente da forme e depositi glaciali e periglaciali. A partire dall’Olocene l’azione prevalente èstata indubbiamente quella periglaciale che si manifesta con diverse forme minori, ma soprattutto, attra-verso i rock glaciers. In quest’area ne sono staff individuati dieci, quattro dei quali attivi, tre complessi,con una parte superiore attiva ed una inferiore inattiva o 《fossile》, ed infine i rimanenti tre del tutto inattivi.Scopo principale di questa breve nora è di illustrare le caratteristiche geometriche e morfologiche, ladistribuzione e le relazioni con le forme glaciali, di questi rock glaciers. The rock glaciers of the Foscagno Pass (Upper Valtellina). The area described in thispaper (and geomorphological map inserted) lies near Foscagno Pass, in The Upper Valtellina. It is anarea of alpine pass, expecially characterized by Periglacial and Glacial formation and deposits. SinceOlocene, surely, the Periglacial action has been the prevailing one. The Periglacial action has revealedby several minor forms, but aboveall, by rock glaciers. In this area ten rock glaciers are located, fourof these are active, three are complex, composed by two parts: the Upper part active and the Lowerpart inactive. Finally, the last three are completely inactive. The main purpose of this paper consistsin describing the geometrical and geomorphological characteristics, the distribution and the relationshipsof these rock glaciers with the glacial forms.展开更多
