Mass wasting or mass movement refers to the movement of rock debris down a slope due to the influence of gravity. The movement is induced by natural factors or by human interferance on hill slope. The movement can be slow or fast.
Avalanches and rock slides are the fastest forms of mass wasting.
Soil creep is the slowest form of mass wasting.
Slope Gradient
A muflow is a form of mass wasting.
Mass wasting is the term used to describe the process of the transfer of rock material down slope under the influence of gravity. There are various terms used to describe how these materials move when a mass wasting event is happening, include flow and slide.
