Observations on the training of the Kleingladbach jump at Wassenberg-Myhl
Description
The Kleingladbacher Sprung is a disturbance of the tertiary to quaternary floe system of the Lower Rhine Bay. It forms the eastern boundary disturbance of the Wassenberger Horstes and is known there by the former coal mining as an invading deportation to the northeast. Its long-lasting disturbance activity has been safely occupied since the late upper carbon and extends to the present. The deposits on both sides of the disturbance show a very different manifestation and always involve layer gaps. The reactivation of this disturbance takes place in phases with different directions of movement. During the so-called inversion phase in the Upper Cretaceous, the Wassenberg Horst forms a trench, which leads to the fact that the offset at the Kleingladbach jump was apparently suspensive in this time. The geometry of the Kleingladbach jump in the entire fracture floe system of the Lower Rhine Bay means that the offset of the disturbance also had leaf displacement components, at least temporarily. The new terrain findings presented here show that the Kleingladbacher Sprung was also active in the quaternary, offsetting the younger main terraces as well as different old Löss profiles and shaped today’s landscape development. The reconstruction of the development history of the Kleingladbach jump results – considered over a longer period – a uniform movement with an offset at the disturbance of about 1 cm/1000 a on average.
