4 important questions on Mass Movements
What are the different types of mass movements?
- Fall
- topple
- spread
- translational slide
- rotational slide (slump)
- Mud flow
- debris flow
- earth flow
- rock avalanche
- creep
The classifications of different types of mass wasting movements
the slowest is creep
fastest is rock fall or rock avalanche
What does the slope strength depend on?
- Composition
- Fabric
- Structure
- Consolidation
- Water content
- Vegetation
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
Ways to protect yourself from mass wastings
- Revegetation (addition of plants)
- make staircases
- reshape the slope
- adding retaining walls
- rock staples
- avalanche shed
- adding ripraps and moving river
