Question

Match the location (given by the letter) with the best description:

A—Minor Scarp

B—Right Flank

C—Crown

D—Main Scarp

E—Head

F—Main Body

G—Surface of Rupture

H—Toe

I—Toe of Surface of Rupture

J—Surface of Separation

K—Foot

L—Original Ground Surface

Choices:

1. The nearly horizontal, upper parts of the landslide along the contact between the displaced material and the main scarp.

2. A landslide’s lowest end, most distant from the main scarp.

3. The surface that forms the lower boundary of the material below the original ground surface.

4. A steep, nearly vertical upper edge caused by movement of the displaced material. A visible part of the surface of rupture.

5. The part of the ground overlain by the foot of the landslide.

6. The nearly undisplaced material still in place and adjacent to the highest parts of the main scarp.

7. A steep surface on the displaced material produced by differential movements within the material.

8. The intersection between the surface of rupture and the original ground surface.

9. The undisplaced material adjacent to the side of the landslide. If left and right are used, they are referenced as viewed from the crown.

10. The portion of the landslide that has moved beyond the toe of surface of rupture and overlies the original ground surface.

11. The displaced material overlying the surface of rupture between the main scarp and the toe of surface of rupture.

12. The slope that existed before the landslide took place.
