How does rain cause rocks slides?
The water lubricates the rock, gravel, sand and mud so it slides downhill more easily
What does stauchwall mean in relation to snow avalanche?
A stauchwall is the bottom, or downhill, edge of a slab avalanche's crown area. It marks where the snow rolls over and slides.
When does the snow and ice the make up a glacier begin to move downhill?
When accumulated mass of ice weighs enough to overcome the friction against the ground, and slides from gravity.
How can heavy rainfall trigger landslide or mudflow?
The rain seeps into the microscopic spaces between the soil particles. This turns the hillside into a thick liquid - which slides downhill due to gravity.
What fatty or waxy substance present on the outer walls of leaf epidermal cells is usually lost in the preparation of slides?
That is the cuticle.It is made up of cutines.
Earthquakes can cause a large downhill movement called?
no
What are the types and descriptions of mass movements?
Mass wasting is considered by geologists as the movement of dirt, rock, sediment, and landscape downhill. Landslides, slump, creep, rock falls, debris falls, rock slides, mudslides, mudflows, lahar, avalanche, and debris flows are all types of mass wasting. Also, any kind of erosion (mechanical/chemical) moving sediment downhill.
Can gravity cause midslides?
If mud slides downhill, then yes, gravity makes the sliding downhill happen.
What are the release dates for The Bianca Bee Show - 2013 DownHill Slides 1-7?
The Bianca Bee Show - 2013 DownHill Slides 1-7 was released on: USA: 1 September 2013
What is the difference between progressive failure and retrogressive failure in slope stability?
Slides that grow uphill by increments are called retrogressive; slides that grow downhill by increments are called progressive.
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

Should you get a Tan Tien or a Landyachtz Switchblade you want 1 for downhill and sliding they need to be very good at both?
definitely go with the switchblade amazing for downhill. its low to the ground so its very stable and the 1" drop and w concave locks your feet in for slides.

Is landslide the same thing as a fault?
No, a landslide is masses of land that has been crushed and is in a liquid-ish state and slides down the sides of mountains, ranges anywhere.. a fault is a line underground that when land masses move and hit the fault causes earthquakes.
