Jigsaw Puzzles From Science Photo Library
Egardon hill, soil creep
Egardon hill, soil creep. These terraces, known as terracettes, form readily in the light chalk soil of the slopes of this hill. They are formed by the movement of soil downhill, a process known as soil creep. Although these are often referred to as sheep tracks, livestock are not the cause of the terracettes although they do emphasise the formation. Photographed at Egardon Hill in west Dorset, UK

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the stunning natural phenomenon of soil creep on Egardon Hill in west Dorset, UK. The terracettes, also known as terraces, visible in the image are formed by the gradual movement of soil downhill, a process aptly named soil creep. It is fascinating to observe how these terracettes readily form in the light chalk soil that covers the slopes of this hill. Contrary to popular belief, livestock such as sheep are not responsible for creating these intriguing formations. However, their presence does accentuate and highlight the unique patterns created by nature's forces. The lush greenery surrounding the terraced ridges adds a touch of serenity and beauty to this picturesque landscape. Egardon Hill serves as an ideal location for studying geological processes due to its diverse geography and rich history. This photograph showcases not only erosion and geological features but also highlights the significance of chalk soils within this region. The Science Photo Library has masterfully captured this momentous scene with impeccable detail and clarity. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of both nature's power and its ability to create breathtaking landscapes like no other place on Earth.
