Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Translational slides are defined as masses moving down and out by sliding on planes of weakness such as faults, bedding, or clay rich layers. Rock falls involve the rapid movement of individual rock fragments, rotational slides involve movement around a curved surface, debris flows involve water-saturated masses of rock, soil or other debris moving downslope, and Struzstroms are not a recognized geological term.
