What is mass movement
-
How does it occur
-
Water (after heavy, prolonged rainfall) makes regolith wet and heavy and more likely to move downhill
A shortage of vegetation makes mass movement more likely. (Vegetation helps to prevent mass movement because the roots of trees and plants bind soil together)
