What is part mud and rock that slides down the mountain?

That would be an avalanche. It occurs when a mass of snow, ice, mud, and rocks rapidly falls down a mountainside due to various factors like heavy snowfall, earthquakes, or human activity. Avalanches can be dangerous and destructive events in mountainous regions.


What is a sediment that is carried down mountain canyons and deposited on the gentle slopes at the base of the mountains?

The sediment that is carried down mountain canyons and deposited on the gentle slopes at the base of the mountains is called alluvium. This alluvial deposit typically consists of a mix of sand, silt, clay, and gravel that has been transported by water flow and deposited as the flow velocity decreases on the gentler slopes.


What is weathered orthoclase clay?

Weathered orthoclase clay is a type of clay that has undergone physical and chemical weathering processes over time. These processes break down the orthoclase mineral in the clay, altering its composition and texture. Weathered orthoclase clay is often softer, more porous, and may have a different color compared to fresh orthoclase clay.


What is the parent rock of clay?

The parent rock of clay is usually shale or mudstone. These rocks are composed of fine-grained particles that break down over time into smaller particles, eventually forming clay through weathering and erosion processes.


What is clearcutting and how does it affect erosion?

Clearcutting is a forestry practice where all trees in a specific area are cut down. It can lead to increased erosion because it removes the vegetation that helps hold soil in place. Without trees and plants, there is nothing to slow down runoff water, leading to soil erosion and loss of topsoil.
