Mass movement, according to geologists is the gravity driven down-slope movement of earth materials. Additionally, this down-slope movement phenomenon is caused loose uncemented rock and soil particles that cover the Earth’s surface. The force of gravity forces this with no aid of a transporting agent such as ice, wind or water. Virtually, there are a number of various types of mass wasting that are distinguished by the kind of earth material moving down-slope, the mechanics involved in the motion and sometimes by the speed with which it moves. Mass wasting is depicted to be part of a continuum Continue reading...
