Question
the image below represents what type of mass movement? rock fall debris flow creep slump
Slump is a type of mass movement where a mass of rock or soil moves down a slope in one piece, creating a curved scarp (the exposed part of the slope where the movement started) and a hummocky (bumpy) surface at the base. In the image, the curved scarp and the way the material has moved down in a somewhat coherent block are characteristic of a slump. Rock fall involves the free - fall of rocks from a cliff. Debris flow is a more fluid, slurry - like movement of debris. Creep is a very slow, gradual movement of soil or rock particles.
