Resumo de Recurso

Types of mass movement
  1. Slow
    1. Soil Creep
      1. Soil particles pushed/heaved to surface by wetting, heating or freezing of water
        1. Manger in Vale, Whitehorse, Oxfordshire
        2. Rain Splash Erosion
          1. Raindrops compact the soil + dislodge particles EQUALLY in all directions
            1. Cold, periglacial environments
          2. Flow
            1. Surface Wash
              1. when soil's infiltration capacity is exceeded + can lead to formation of gullies
                1. semi-arid regions
                2. Sheet Wash
                  1. The unchannelled flow of water over a soil surface
                    1. Boscastle floods, 2004
                    2. Throughflow
                      1. Water moving down through soil
                    3. Fast
                      1. Slides
                        1. material maintains its shape+cohesion until it impacts at bottom of slope+leads to large, slumped terraces
                          1. Vaiont Dam, Italy
                          2. Falls

                              2. Slumps
                                1. Occurs on weaker rocks, (clay), +have a rotational movement along a curved slip plane
                                  1. Holbeck hall hotel, Scarborough
