What is mass movement? Explain rapid mass movement and slower mass movement
Answers

More recently, the term mass movement has been substituted to include mass wasting processes and the sinking of confined areas of the Earth’s ground surface. Mass movements on slopes and sinking mass movements are often aided by water and the significance of both types is the part each plays in the alteration of landforms.
Explanation:
Answer:
Rapid Mass Movement
Involves a visible movement of material. Occurs very suddenly and rapidly. These types of movements can be very dangerous. Result in loss of life and property. Most occur on steep slopes and can involve rock, soil or debris.
Slow Mass Movement
Advances very slowly. Usually only noticeable by the effects of their movements. Responsible for the down-slope transport of a much greater volume of material since it is always occurring.
