FALLS
100
Reason for downhill movement of weathered rock particles
What is gravity
100
soil flow
What is solifluction
100
Slides are not affected by this
What is internal derangement
100
terracettes
What is evidence of creeps
100
falls occur here
What are steep canyons, cliffs, road cuts
200
roots of trees and small plants anchor soil and help hold it in place on steep slopes
What is vegetation
200
types of movement
What are earthflow and mudflow
200
this type of mass wasting occurs here
What are flatplanes
200
downslope movement of soil
What is soil creep
200
one cause of falls
What is an earthquake
300
triggering mechanisms
What are earthquakes, water, volcanic eruptions
300
occurs in mountains
What is mudflow
300
usually rapid but may vary
What is movement
300
absorbs water and binds soil
What is vegetation
300
found at the base of falls
What is talus
400
when slope and dip direction are the same
What is mass wasting
400
mudflow on a volcano
What is lahar
400
landslide with the highest death toll in the last decade
What is the Philippines
400
makes slopes unstabilized
What is precipitation
400
most common type of mass wasting
What are falls
500
Can be sudden and violent (destructive) or gradual
What is mass movement
500
caused by erosion
What is earthflow
500
two kinds of slides
What is fluid or solid
500
movement of individual boulders on a rock slope or movement of boulders on talus slope
What are creeps
500
falls MOST commonly occur here
What is a steep cliff
