  1. 8.1 Notes: Mass Wasting Describe The gradual movement of soil downhill that isn’t easily noticed (unlike some creepy person in a room). Soil Creep

  2. A massive “slab” of ice & snow falls downhill very fast and creates more snow to fall. Avalanche Describe:

  3. A very fast movement of rock & soil down a steep slope that is saturated with water. Happens in typically dry areas that get seasonal downpours. Mud Flow Describe

  4. A mass of rocks breaks loose & slides rapidly down a slope. Rockslide Describe
