Epic Mudslide Caught on Camera

Written By Paul Andersen

Description:  Various forms of mass wasting (e.g. creeps, slumps, landslides, mudflows) can be used to show that earth events can occur quickly or slowly. Mass wasting occurs as gravity acts on the soil and rock in an area. The amount of water in an area greatly affects the speed of the mass wasting.
