Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The image shows a curved and concave shape on the surface of the hillside, indicating that the material is sliding along a curved surface. This is typical of a slump, which is a type of mass wasting event characterized by the movement of a mass of material along a curved surface. The other options, avalanche and debris flow, involve movement that is more rapid and less controlled, while solifluction refers to slow movement of soil or sediment due to freeze-thaw cycles, which does not seem to be the case in the image.
