Landslide chute and deposits on Kehoe Beach, Point Reyes National Seashore, Marin County, California

Debris chute and deposits on Kehoe Beach in Point Reyes National Seashore (Marin County). Episodic storms and landslides fall to the beach along the chute (causing further erosion). The material accumulates as a cone of alluvial debris at the base of the slope. High waves during high tides and coastal storms strip away the alluvial debris, mostly moving it offshore or reworking it into beach deposits along the coast.
