Mass Movements



Define mass movement. The transfer of rock and soil downslope due to gravity.


What are the different types of mass movements? Rockfalls, rockslides, mudslides, slumps, mudflows, earthflows, and creeps.


Which mass movement has the greatest potential to cause the most damage? Why? I think rockslides cause the most damage because rocks are hard and dangerous to be around especially when the rocks are big.


Include at least one picture of damage caused by your mass movement.
