a massive rock

b. the wind blast from a massive rock

c. seismic shaking

 

3. Which best describes what causes mass movements of land? 

Select one:

a. Friction between debris and bedrock causes debris to move downslope.

b. Movement occurs when force of gravity exceeds resisting strength.

c. Mass movement is caused when materials are on inclined slopes.

d. The more cohesive the materials, the more likely they are to move.

 

4. Which factor, when present, generally increases slope stability (that is, makes them less likely to fail)?
