Q

Is the downward movement of soil, rocks, and earth materials along a slope.

A

Landslide

17
Q

is the slow to rapid downslope movement of unconsolidated soil and rock debris.

A

Rock and debris slide

18
Q

is the mass movement characterized by a flowing mass of mud along the flank of a volcano.

A

Mudflow

19
Q

is the downslope flowage of soft and unconsolidated materials.

A

Slump

20
Q

is a slow or gradual movement of soil.

A

Creep

21
Q

is the free falling movement of massive rocks from a cliff or steep slopes.

A

Rock fall

22
Q

is the rapid flowage of debris and other rock material.

A

Debris flow

23
Q

Are geologic formations that are formed by erosion of bedrocks composed of soft material and rocks. They can be also be formed due to the lack of water that supports thin earth surface and human activities that change the form of the land surface.
