Here's why:
* Mass wasting is a general term for the downhill movement of rock, soil, and debris under the influence of gravity. It encompasses a variety of processes, including:
* Rockfalls: Individual rocks or boulders detach and fall.
* Slides: Blocks of rock or soil move downslope along a well-defined surface.
* Flows: Material moves downslope as a viscous fluid, like a mudflow or debris flow.
* Creep: Slow, gradual movement of soil and rock, often unnoticed until its effects become apparent.
Let me know if you'd like more details on any of these mass wasting processes!
