slopes and the slope process]

Question 1

what 2 movements affect slopes and slope processes

Answer 1

uplift is the upward movement of materials in relation to the sea level this process normally occurs during the formation of the slope.

denudation - the loss of mass of from a landscape occur through surface process erosions changes the surrounding occurs lower down

Question 2

the stability of slopes can be determined through

Answer 2

f= resting forces of the slope/ applied forces of the slope
if f=1 then the slope is stable

Question 3

f can be influenced by external factors such as

Answer 3

rain - rest and be thankful increase liklehiood of landslides
shocks earthquakes vibrations from human activity

Question 4

Internal weathering

Answer 4

overloading weight of snow

Question 5

resisting forces can be altered by (human activity)

Answer 5

deforestation teh removal of teh trees can alter the cohesion of the tree roots can raise water tables and increase soil cracking.

Question 6

how can slopes be altered human impacts or human impacts

Answer 6

climate change deforestation
social marjininastion can occur Diaz et al
this is not felt equally the impacts on humans
landslides can occur at high economic costs to communities.

Question 7

slope failure 3 process

Answer 7

slides , flow heaves

Question 8

flow

Answer 8

mud flow landslides, does not need to be steep low angles slopes
high fluidity can work
procuces fine grained material

Question 9

slides rotational slides

Answer 9

occur very fast must have failure on at least 2 planes
franks slide Alta candy 100 secs 70 dead

Question 10

heaves what are

Answer 10

produce creeps distribuance of the soil perpendicular to the slope gravity then forces the downward movement
