This shingle fan reveals a massive accumulation of scree cascading from the hillside, spreading out in a fan-like shape on the ground. The mountains in this area are steep, sparsely vegetated, and exposed to strong winds and heavy rainfall. These conditions are largely due to the elevation of the mountains and their close proximity to the coast.
