Which of the following scenarios would be most susceptible to mass movements?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Steep slopes are generally more susceptible to mass movements due to the steep angle of the slope which increases the gravitational force on the materials. Siltstone and mudstone are also more susceptible to mass movements because they have a tendency to absorb water and become unstable. Sandstone and conglomerate are more resistant and less likely to fail in a mass movement. Shallow slopes are less likely to experience mass movements because there is less gravitational force acting on the materials.
