List types of mass movement..?

Question

Can you list the type of mass movement? Please list them, i could use the help....

Answer 1

I cant remember all of them, but the major types are things like creep, slides, falls, and flows. All specific types of mass wasting/movement can be classified under one of these types. Creep is very slow, usually imperceptible movement of unconsolidated material above the bedrock. Slides occur rapidly along a slope, and usually consist of overburden materials, or recently removed bedrock. Falls are usually situations where a chunk of bedrock breaks free of a cliff face and falls onto a scree apron. Flows are associated with overburden/unconsolidated material that is saturated to the point where the shear(?) stress overcomes the normal force--it then flows downhill.

Why do you consider the movement to have been particularly successful in the '70s? The events of the '70s were the culmination of work that started as far back as the '50s. One of the key things was Lyndon Johnson's "Great Society" legislation of '63-'64 which put the prestige of the White House behind the Civil Rights movement, and, as a side effect, gave the South to the Republicans. It was the momentum from that impetus that lead to the legislation of the '70s, but also sparked the backlash the lead to Nixon's election and the Republicans reclaiming the White House. The only real Feminist activity unique to the '70s was their attempt at an Equal Rights Amendment, which failed. They've been pretty much on the sidelines since. How much actual Feminist agenda legislation has been passed in the last 35 years? They're mostly fighting just keep what they got then, most notably Roe vs. Wade, which happened in January of '73, and was still in sufficient danger of being overturned to be a campaign point in the last election, so even that can hardly be called an unqualified success.

First of all, let me write that landslide is a catchall term for mass waisting. Within geological circles it really is not used. There are several terms that are used to describe mass wasting that are based on how the material moves and what moves. With slides, the material moves in more or less coherent masses along a fracture surface. On the other hand, flow move as fluid masses downslope. So, here are some of the different types of mass wasting.

Rock slide: masses of rock sliding down an inclined surface.
Rock fall: masses of rock free falling down a cliff face.
Mud slide: coherent mass of mud sliding down a surface.
Mud flow: incoherent mass of mud flowing downslope.
Slump: coherent mass of soil sliding down a curving surface underneath it.
Liquifaction: a form of mass waisting that occurs during earthquakes in which water saturated sediment behaves like a liquid.
Creep: slow downslope movement cause by cyclic expansion and contraction of soil.

Answer 4

The main types are landslides, mudslides, and avalanches. Bear in mind that they can be caused by many different things, including volcanism, earthquakes, rainfall, deforestation, and movement of humans and machines.
