What is the slowest type of mass wasting?
Soil creep is the slowest form of mass wasting.
What is a form of mass wasting event that occurs when loosely consolidated materials or rock layers move a short distance down a slope?
A Creep
What is the slow downslope movement of materials?
it's a creep (not like someone who's creepy) NO JOKE THAT'S WHAT IT'S CALLED :) =}
What process is a sudden movement caused primarily by gravity?
Mass wasting- APEX
What type of erosion is mudflow?
A muflow is a form of mass wasting.
What is the slowest type of mass wasting?
Soil creep is the slowest form of mass wasting.
Mass wasting is a form of erosion caused by ice?
no
What is a form of mass wasting event that occurs when loosely consolidated materials or rock layers move a short distance down a slope?
A Creep
What kinds of mass wasting processes do you we see?
we have soil creep,solifluction,rock falls,earthflows,mud flows

What Is the name of the process in which beach sediment moved down is called?
This process is known as longshore drift.
What is the soil moving slowly downhill called?
Erosion. More specifically in soils this is likely to be creep or solifluction. These are types of mass wasting.
What process is a sudden movement caused primarily by gravity?
Mass wasting- APEX
What type of erosion is mudflow?
A muflow is a form of mass wasting.
Avalanches and are the fastest form of mass wasting?
rock slides
Which mass wasting is slow movement of solid particles down?
A slow mass movement of individual sediments is a creep. It happens so slowly that you cannot see it happening and it can go on for years.
Downslope movement of loose sediment and rock by the force of gravity is called?
Mass wasting is the term used to describe the process of the transfer of rock material down slope under the influence of gravity. There are various terms used to describe how these materials move when a mass wasting event is happening, include flow and slide.
