Presentation transcript:

Section 12.3 Mass Movement A lot of material moves all at one time “the downward movement of weathered material due to gravity”

Erosion The removal and transport of weathered materials #1 agent of erosion is WATER #2 agent of erosion is WIND

Types of Mass Movement Landslide The sudden mass movement of loose soil down a hill or slope

Creep slow, VERY slow movement of soil down a hill

Slump A section of land tilts or curves down a slope or hill

Mudflow Rapid movement of water-filled soil down a hill or slope

Avalanche Sudden movement of snow down a hill or slope
