Slumps are a fascinating type of landslide characterized by a mass of rock and soil that shifts and drops, resembling a Pringle chip in shape. This document discusses what slumps are, how they form, and why the real-life formations may differ from expectations. Through personal photographs, the author explores the intricacies of slumps, highlighting their appearance and the way vegetation behaves during this geological process. While the visual representations may disappoint, they offer valuable insights into the dynamics of nature.

Natural DisastersSlumps By Brooks Fackrell
Example of Slumps Pic one*
Slumps, what are they? Slumps are basically a huge piece of rock and dirt that move and drop from the mountain into a pringle like shape
What really happened • The following is the pictures I have personally taken of what I viewed as “slumps” • They are suppose to have a “pringle like” way of looking on the mountain, as you will see, these do not look that way.
DISAPPOINTMENT • That was very disappointing wasn’t it? • Well now it goes on to the boring stuff, how they are formed, blah blahblah, you know the drill.
Forming procedures • What happens is as nature is doing it’s thing, the earth and ground start to move due to erosion, water, etc. • Sometimes in this process instead of creating a major land slide like you think, the slumps, which is a form of land slide, are formed.
Cont • They basically keep everything in tact, while the mountain might have a 45 degree angle on it, when the slump is formed it looks as if the trees and everything on the slump goes with it. • That means that the trees that were once at an angle, now appear to be perfectly straight.
Closing • So basically what they are supposed to look like is this, • Not this Pic two*
