All non-horizontal slopes have potential for mass wasting of some type.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This statement is true because any slope that is not horizontal is subject to gravitational forces that can cause it to lose stability and lead to mass wasting processes such as landslides, rockfalls, or debris flows. The degree of susceptibility to mass wasting depends on a variety of factors, such as the slope angle, slope material, vegetation cover, and environmental conditions.  So, all non-horizontal slopes have the potential for some form of mass wasting.
