What are examples of gravity erosion?
Gravity erosion, also known as mass wasting, includes various processes where gravity causes the movement of rock and soil downhill. Examples of gravity erosion include landslides, rockfalls, creep, and slumps. Landslides are rapid downslope movements of rock and soil, while rockfalls involve the free fall of detached rocks. Creep is the slow, continuous movement of soil downhill, and slumps are rotational slides where a mass of rock and soil moves along a curved surface.
Landslides and slump are forms of what?
Mass movement
When a rock suddenly falls of a cliff is it a slump or creep?
It would typically be classified as a slump if the rock falls suddenly in a mass movement due to the force of gravity and weak underlying materials. Creep, on the other hand, involves a slow and gradual movement of soil or rock downslope over time.
What is the name of the geomorphic landform that identifies a slump?
The geomorphic landform that identifies a slump is called a scarp or slump scar. This feature is created when a mass of rock or soil moves downhill along a curved sliding surface, resulting in a distinct steep slope at the head of the slump.
What effect do landslides have on land forms?
Landslides can alter landforms by changing the shape, height, and stability of slopes. They can create new landforms such as scarps, slump features, and debris flows. Over time, repeated landslides can contribute to the formation of new landforms and change the overall landscape of an area.

What are some examples of gravitational?
Some examples would be avalanche, landslide, debris flow, mudflow, and a sinkhole. Gravitational eroson is caused by gravity in contrast to the physical movement of wind and water required for other types of soil erosion. This involvs mass wasting and smaller scale erosion. Two types of mass movements are slump and creep

What are the 4 types of rapid mass movement?
a slump- a curved surface in the landa creep- sediment and trees lean downhill (slowly)rockfalls and rock slides- rocks break lose and tumble and fall downhillmudflow-it flows down a slope and occurs after a heavy rainfall in a area with lose sediment
Is a creep faster than a slump?
No. Slump is "faster" but still at a very slow rate

What is the difference between creep slump. And runoff?
Creep is the irreversible deformation of a material over time under constant load, while slump is the vertical downward movement of material due to gravity. Runoff is the flow of water over the land surface and is unrelated to the deformation of materials like creep and slump.
What are the ways that slump creep mudflows and rockslides are the same?
Both landslides and avalanches are can be caused by heavy rain or snow. An avalanche is great volumes of mass sliding down a sloped area, a mudslide or mudflow also are great volumes of mass sliding down a sloped area. these are some of the similarities between a mudslide and an avalanche.

Is a slump mass movement or a creep mass movement faster?
A slump mass movement is typically faster than a creep mass movement. Slump movement involves a more sudden and rapid downslope movement of material, often in a rotational manner, whereas creep movement involves a slower, more gradual flow of material over time.
