Question

An earthflow is best described as: Hint: the answers are in the Overview in the Mass Wasting section. :-) Select one: a. The rotational movement of soil downslope along a rotational surface of rupture b. A non-cohesive soil flow made up of sand to boulder sized sediments that is triggered by intense

Answer 1

b. A non-cohesive soil flow made up of sand to boulder sized sediments that is triggered by intense

Step-by-step explanation:

• An earth flow is a down slope movement of the fine-grained Geo matter that has been saturated with the flow of water and moves under the flow of gravity and is defined as an intermediate type of the mass wasting between the soil creep and the mud flow.

• Material like the clay, silt ad sand flow form a great height and speed can range to rapid movements. It also depends on the water content and the velocity of the flow.
