Question

Which of the following are good methods to control and stabilize mass wasting? Group of answer choices drainage, terracing, planting vegetation terracing, retaining walls, slope excavation retaining walls, drainage, irrigation terracing, water infiltration, retaining walls

Answer 1

Answer: planting vegetation terracing, retaining walls

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass wasting or mass movement is a natural process of movement of materials such as soil, boulders, stones and others down the slope under the influence of gravity. This is responsible for mudslides and landslides.

The planting vegetation terracing will help in prevention of mass wasting as the plant roots will hold the soil. It will be beneficial if the vegetation is grown on the steps that is terracing.

The retention of walls will prevent the movement of the materials down the slope. Thus will stabilize and control the mass wasting.
