Question

For Landslide, Earth flow, Slump and Creep, which one of the following is the correct sequence of the speed of Mass wasting.

• A. Creep< Earthflow < Slump < Landslide
• B. Slump< Creep< landslide< Earth flow
• C. Slump < Creep < landslide< Earth flow
• D. Creep < Slump < Earth flow< Landslide

Answer 1

The correct option is D Creep < Slump < Earth flow< Landslide

creep refers to the gradual movement of particles down a slope that is coated in loose, worn material.
Slump is describe the downward periodic movement of rock debris that occurs as a result of the loss of buttressing soil.
Earth flows are large-scale movements of fine-grained soils that range from fast earth flows created in very sensitive clay deposits.
A landslide is a mass movement of material, such as rock, earth or debris, down a slope.
