Abstract
Based on remote sensing interpretation, detailed field investigation of the deposit landforms and previous research, we propose that the emplacement mechanism of the Tahman rock avalanche, a giant Holocene rock avalanche, can be divided into three distinct phases: an extension-dominated sliding phase, a lateral shear-dominated sliding phase and a compression-dominated sliding phase.
