Scree or detritic cone is a term given to broken rock that appears at the bottom of crags, mountain cliffs or valley shoulders. The maximum inclination of such deposits corresponds to the angle of repose of the mean debris size. The term scree comes from the Old Norse term for landslide: skriða[1].
The term scree is generally used interchangeably with talus, though scree often refers to rocks that are small (e.g., smaller than a human head), while talus can refer to rocks larger than scree.[2]
