Angle of repose
|
The steepness of a slope that results when loose particles come to rest.
|
|
|
Slope Elements
|
-Waxing slope: increase of steepness
-Free Facing: steepest part of the slope -Waning slope(debris): transport out-put out the system |
|
|
Mass movement types
|
Falls, Avalanches, Slides, Flows, and Creep.
|
|
|
Falls
|
Occurs on a steeper slope, and is the fastest form of mass movement. Debris fall without hiting the slope.
|
|
|
Avalanches
|
Is a mass of falling and tumbling rock, debris, and soil.
|
|
|
Slides
|
When meteral don't meet in contect with the hill at all, and moves as a single large movement.
|
|
|
Flows
|
Moderate to fast slide that is being carried down hill. (slump like slide)
|
|
|
Creep
|
Slowest form of mass movement. When upper solt is creeping down hill at an current rate.
