Question

What can happen to the downhill toe of a slump during wet weather or times when snow is melting? ANSWER The toe can turn into a rock avalanche. The toe can stop moving because water makes the clay sticky. The toe can become an earthflow. The toe can collapse and be deposited as talus at the base of the slope. I DON'T KNOW YET

Answer 1

Option C

The toe can become an earthflow.

Step-by-step explanation:

It's incorrect to say that the toe turns into rock avalanche neither can the toe collapse and be deposited as a talus at the base of the slope. Despite the melting ice making clay sticky, the toe can't stop due to continued mass wasting that occurs. Therefore, the right answer is option C, The toe can become an earthflow
