Mass Wasting
Hint: Questions #27-32 and #35-39 require you to identify mass wasting features. Use the text and course notes to help you identify the features. Also use geographic and landscape context. You may want to think about the following questions as you work through these problems:
- Does the feature occur on a steep mountain side or on a gentle slope?
- Does the feature consist of 1) only rocks; 2) rocks, as well as soil; 3) or a mix of rocks, soil, and vegetation?
- Is the site located in a very cold climate, where you might expect solifluction to occur, or is the site in a more moderate climate where solifluction does not occur?
Also note: questions 28, 30, 32, 36, and 38 each ask why you picked the answer you did for the immediately preceding question. This may not be clear in the Story Map, because the text for Questions 28, 30, 32, 36, and 38 contain typos. If this becomes confusing, refer to the questions below as an alternative (here they are correctly written)
27. Feature G?
A. Slump
B. Solifluction
C. Landslide
D. Rockfall
28. Why did you pick the answer you did in Question 27?
A. Because the image shows material that has rotated and moved down the slope along a concave plane relative to the surface.
B. Because the image shows where freeze-thaw processes result in lobes of soil moving gradually downslope.
C. Because the image shows the result of movement of soil and bedrock down a steep slope in response to gravity,
D. Because the image shows rocks that suddenly slid down a mountainside
29. Feature H? Hint: Feature H consists of a pile of rocks in a roughly cone-shaped deposit, at the base of a mountain side.
A. Slump
B. Solifluction
C. Landslide
D. Rockfall
30. Why did you pick the answer you did in Question 29?
A. Because the image shows material that has rotated and moved down the slope along a concave plane relative to the surface.
B. Because the image shows where freeze-thaw processes result in lobes of soil moving gradually downslope.
C. Because the image shows the result of movement of soil and bedrock down a steep slope in response to gravity,
D. Because the image shows rocks that suddenly slid down a mountainside
31. Feature I?
A. Slump
B. Solifluction
C. Landslide
D. Rockfall
32. Why did you pick the answer you did in Question 31?
A. Because the image shows material that has rotated and moved down the slope along a concave plane relative to the surface.
B. Because the image shows where freeze-thaw processes result in lobes of soil moving gradually downslope.
C. Because the image shows the result of movement of soil and bedrock down a steep slope in response to gravity,
D. Because the image shows rocks that suddenly slid down a mountainside
