Erosion: The process by which water, ice, wind, or gravity moves weathered rock and soil.  

Deposition:  Process in which sediment is laid down in new locations. 

Sediment: Earth materials deposited by erosion. 

Mass movement: Any one of several process by which gravity moves sediment downhill.

Also when ashen debris flows caused by earthquakes can also trigger mass movement of soil. Heavy Rainfall: When sloped areas become completely saturated by heavy rainfall many times landslides can occur. ]]> 2019-05-09 12:00:48 UTC https://padlet.com/abigailglanville25/w7vjj2i5x8sn/wish/358416257 abigailglanville25 https://padlet.com/abigailglanville25/w7vjj2i5x8sn/wish/358420435 Landslides can occur in all 50 states but regions like the Appalachian Mountains, the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Coastal Ranges. ]]> 2019-05-09 12:14:12 UTC https://padlet.com/abigailglanville25/w7vjj2i5x8sn/wish/358420435 abigailglanville25 https://padlet.com/abigailglanville25/w7vjj2i5x8sn/wish/358421982 Mudslides are very dangerous. They can occur when a large amount of water causes the rapid erosion of soil on a steep slope. Fast snow melts at the top of a mountain or a period of intense rainfall can make a mudslide occur, as the water mixes with soil and causes it to liquefy and move downhill Known as a mudslide.]]> 2019-05-09 12:18:15 UTC https://padlet.com/abigailglanville25/w7vjj2i5x8sn/wish/358421982 sophiaalleva25 https://padlet.com/abigailglanville25/w7vjj2i5x8sn/wish/358424261 Mudslide can occur typically in areas with steep hillsides, gullies and other narrow channels that make it easy for rain, mud and debris to flow through -much like the terrain in Southern California, ]]> 2019-05-09 12:23:45 UTC https://padlet.com/abigailglanville25/w7vjj2i5x8sn/wish/358424261 sophiaalleva25 https://padlet.com/abigailglanville25/w7vjj2i5x8sn/wish/358425058 A slump is a form of mass wasting that occurs when a coherent mass of loosely consolidated materials or rock layers moves a short distance down a slope.
