Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The presence and orientation of planar features in the rock, such as bedding planes, joints, and faults, are more universally applicable factors affecting slope stability than specifically "volcanic" features. These planar features can influence the slope's stability by dictating the direction and ease with which the rock mass may fail or slide.
