7
What has been done here that makes a mass movement more likely?
Over-steepening the slope
Removal of vegetation
Both answers are correct
8
earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, explosions, Heavy rainfall, forest fires
resisting forces
driving forces
triggers
9
The angle of repose is
the lowest angle that material can be held at
the angle your face makes with the table when Mr K talks geology
a resisting force
the steepest angle that material can be held at
10

True
Usually False
Always False
