Question

explain all three types of mass movements.

Answer 1

Types and Examples of Mass Movement

Flows occur when the material, soil, and/or rock, behave more like a liquid or fluid. Flows include mudflows, debris flows or lahars (superheated water that moves down an erupting volcano). Flows occur due to a large amount of water or ice present in the soil or material. Flows are most often the fastest traveling and can have speeds in excess of 70 miles per hour, depending on the location and steepness of the slope

Slumps behave differently than flows. Slumps occur as a wedge or slice of material that moves as one piece along a curved surface. As a result, it often can resemble a spoon scoop. Slumps typically occur where there is loose material or rock.

Landslides typically consist of unconsolidated rock. A great example of this is a rockslide. The rocks do not behave as a fluid, such as in flows, and they do not move as one unit, as in slumps. Rockslides can be extremely dangerous because they occur very quickly with tremendous force. An avalanche is another example of a landslide. An avalanche occurs when snow or snow and ice move quickly downslope.

hope it helps!
