Figure from Keller (2000) Ground material affects the pattern of slope failure: Type # 3 Rock and colluvium slope leads to soil slip failure. NOTE: There are actually only two types of failure patterns, rotational and translational. Shallow soil slip is also a type of translational movement. GEOL g406 Environmental Geology S. Hughes, 2003
FLOWS Flows are the downslope movement of unconsolidated material in which the material behaves like a viscous fluid. Flows can be very slow or can be exceedingly fast. Creep a type of flow Example: trees on a slope where the base of each tree bows outward in the downslope direction What other examples can you see in daily life? GEOL g406 Environmental Geology S.
