False
true
No, Mudslides and Slumps aren't especially likely in soils high in clay, SO the answer is False.

True. Clay-rich soils have small particle sizes and tend to hold more water, making them more susceptible to becoming unstable and triggering mudflows and slumps during heavy rainfall or seismic activity.
FALSE
Slumps involve downward movement of a coherent mass along a curved slip surface, usually in response to saturation of underlying materials. Rockslides, on the other hand, involve rapid movement of rock fragments down a steep slope. Slumps typically occur in fine-grained soils, while rockslides occur in consolidated rock masses.
it is the process of densifying granular soils. especially soils with silt content upto 20%
Gemstones do not form in soils.
New York soils are most likely composed of a mixture of rock particles, including quartz, feldspar, mica, and clay minerals. The specific composition can vary depending on the region within New York.
Soils with high clay content have smaller pore spaces which can limit the infiltration of water. This means that water is more likely to run off the surface rather than being absorbed into the soil. Clay soils also tend to form a crust when dry, further decreasing water absorption.
clay soils, loamy soils and sandy soils
Soils that are prone to mudslides are typically fine-grained soils such as silts, clays, and loams. These soils have poor drainage and are easily saturated with water, making them unstable and more likely to slide down steep slopes during heavy rainfall or seismic activity.
