Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A rockslide involves the rapid sliding of a mass of bedrock along an inclined surface of weakness, such as a fracture or bedding plane. Debris flow typically involves a mixture of soil, rock, and water moving down a channel, while avalanches involve the rapid downhill movement of snow or ice. Rockfall refers to the sudden dropping or falling of individual rocks, and creep is a much slower form of mass movement involving the gradual downhill movement of soil or rock.
