I believe It changes the affect on the earth's surface, for an example:
Dry sand grains are bound mainly by friction with one another.
Small amounts of water increase the cohesion among sand grains.
Saturation reduces friction and causes the sand to flow.
rainfall
high rainfall wets the soil thereby leading to the softening of the soil
we have soil creep,solifluction,rock falls,earthflows,mud flows
Mass wasting is hazardous and could kill you.
landslide is a type of mass wasting
The force of gravity causes mass wasting to occur faster.
Gravity
Water and gravity both play a large role in all mass wasting processes including rockslides.

effects of mass wasting
why the mass wasting accurs

Surface Geologic Processes also reffered to as, Exogeneous Geologic Processes, are the processes that operates on the Earth's surface and helps to reconstruct the Earth externally. They include, Erosion, Weathering, Mass Wasting, Orogeny. Their agents are called the Epigeal Geological Agents, and include, Wind, Water, Glacier, Waves etc.

whats the main control of mass wasting
