Abstract: In the article the mechanism of formation of sill flows is considered. The sill formation factors of erosion - sill process are allocated. Authors formulated a hypothesis about conditions of development of a water-transport stream into sill torrent. Types of streams depending on a angle of bedding of possible sill materials (PSM) and the water expense are allocated. Dependences are defined: 1) a limiting weight saturation by a stream of a firm material from a channel bias; 2) between the value of density of sill mass and a bias of sell channels

Keywords: sill flow, sill forming factors, erosion-shift sill process, critical expense of a water stream, critical bias of sill channels, high saturation of an earth flow, density of sill weights.
