Mass movement (also known as mass wasting) can be any of four types of motions :
- creep (objects lean downhill over many years)
- slump (rock and soil slip down a hill in one large mass)
- slides (landslides : rock and soil slide downhill)
- flows (mudslides and mudflows: rock and soil mixed with water slides downhill)
Under some definitions, there are two other types, which do not involve "flows" of material. They are :
- topples (rock pivots off a slope)
- falls (rock separates and falls without flowing)

What are four kinds of mass movement?
The four types of mass movements are: Rock Falls-a rock fall happens when loose rocks fall down a steep slope Landslides-the sudden movement of rocks and soil down a slope Mudflows-the flow of a mass of mud or rock and soil mixed with a large amount of water Creep-the slow downhill movement of weathered rock material

Is a slump mass movement or a creep mass movement faster?
A slump mass movement is faster because a creep mass movement is the slowest kind of mass movement.it is slow because the mass movement involve gradual downhill movement of soil and regolith.

Do you think snow avalanches are a types of mass movement why or why not?
Oh yes! They are definitely a type of mass movement - LOTS of mass moves in an avalanche. Having seen at least a few first hand (and helping dig by hand/shovel through a road blocked by one) I can confirm there is a LOT of mass moved.
