Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Landslides follow intense rains because the water content in the soil or rock weakens the material and reduces its ability to resist the force of gravity, resulting in mass movement. Rockfalls involve the detachment and free fall of rock fragments, soil creep is a slow downward movement of soil, rockflows are highly fluidal and rapid, and gresback flows are not a common term used in geology.
