What is the slowest type of mass wasting?
Soil creep is the slowest form of mass wasting.
Meaning of mass wasting?
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.
What are the fastest forms of mass wasting?
Avalanches and rock slides are the fastest forms of mass wasting.
What is the causes of mass wasting?
Slope Gradient

What is mass wasting and the two criteria used to classify mass wasting events?
Mass wasting or mass movement can be defined as the process of downward movement of earths materials either soil debris, rock matter or other materials through a slope under the influence of gravity. Water is a very important factor favoring mass wasting. The criteria used to classify mass wasting include; 1. Velocity. (fast/quick or slow/gradual) 2. State of matter. (solid, liquid or semi-solid) 3. Volume. (large or small)
