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)
Hint: Questions #33-34 involve determining rise and run. If the values you observe in the slope web map do not exactly match one of the multiple choice options, choose the option that is closest.
33. What is the RISE (Elevation gain) in feet?
A. 3561 feet
B. 1358 feet
C. 153 feet
D. 83 feet
34. What is the RUN of the line (Distance) in miles?
A. 3.0 miles
B. 1.5 miles
C. 0.4 miles
D. 0.02 miles
35. Feature J? Hint: Feature J cannot be determined from the aerial imagery. It is a debris flow. Use this information in #36 to identify the option that best describes what you would see if a debris flow had occurred in this location.
A. Slump
B. Debris flow
C. Mudflow
D. Soil Creep
36. Why did you pick the answer you did in Question 35?
A. Because the images show material that has rotated and moved down the slope along a concave plane relative to the surface.
B. Because the images show the results of a rapidly flowing and extremely powerful mass of water, rocks, sediment, boulders, and trees.
C. Because the images show the results of a well-saturated and highly fluid mass of fine-textured sediment
D. Because the images show the result of a gradual downhill movement of soil, trees, and rocks due to the force of gravity.
37. Feature K?
A. Slump
B. Debris flow
C. Mudflow
D. Soil Creep
38. Why did you pick the answer you did in Question 37?
A. Because the images show material that has rotated and moved down the slope along a concave plane relative to the surface.
B. Because the images show the results of a rapidly flowing and extremely powerful mass of water, rocks, sediment, boulders, and trees.
C. Because the images show the results of a well-saturated and highly fluid mass of fine-textured sediment
D. Because the images show the result of a gradual downhill movement of soil, trees, and rocks due to the force of gravity.
Note: This portion of the lab allows you to view a slope profile of Feature K (and I encourage you to do so). But information in the slope profile is not needed to answer #39, as the Story Map text implies. To answer #39, use your knowledge about the types of mass wasting events represented by Features I and K to determine which process is faster.
39. Which mass wasting event do you expect to travel faster
(Feature I or K)? Why?
A. Feature I because it is one of the fastest types of mass wasting
B. Feature K because it is one of the fastest types of mass wasting
C. Feature I because it is one of the slowest types of mass wasting
D. Feature K because it is one of the slowest types of mass wasting
Explanation / Answer
the feature occur on a gentle slope.
the feature consist of a mix of rocks, soil, and vegetation.
the site located in a more moderate climate where solifluction does not occur.
33.the RISE (Elevation gain) 1358 in feet.
34. the RUN of the line (Distance) 0.45 miles
35. Slump
36. Because the images show material that has rotated and moved down the slope along a concave plane relative to the surface.
37. Soil Creep
38.Because the images show the result of a gradual downhill movement of soil, trees, and rocks due to the force of gravity
