... River near Llandewey. The rock mass failed by a combination of sliding, free fall and toppling, impacted and disintegrated near the base of the original slope and flowed downslope subsequently damming the Yallahs River. Seismic loading followed by high water pressure in clefts are thought to be the main...

... and west of the island (Fig. 1 ). Resources of sand and gravel are located mainly in rivers flowing to the south coast, principally the Rio Minho and Yallahs rivers. Other rocks, which might appear initially to be good resources of aggregates, are either deeply weathered or remote from the major centres...

Also, the fine-grained material is derived mainly from the Yallahs River as suspended load, analogous to the proposed river...

However, some intracratonic basins underwent tremendous subsidence; in those basins where sediments prograded beyond the shelf margin, the Yallahs fan-delta model may be more appropriate...

The two dominant E-striking, left-lateral strike-slip faults are the South Coast fault zone in the south and the central Jamaica fault system (Cavaliers fault, Rio Minho–Crawle River fault, and the Siloah fault system) in the central part of the island. We propose that the restraining bend...
