Question

Imagine you have just bought some property and notice that the trees on the slope have curved trunks. what type of landslide event do you likely have on your property?

Answer 1

The type of landslide event that the property most likely has is CREEP. Creep is the slowest type of mass wasting that requires years of gradual movement to have an effect on a slope. Slopes creep because of the expansion and contraction of a surface sediment as well as the pull of gravity.
