5 Soil Creep, California

6 Colluvium, San Bernardino Mountains, California

7 Mystery or Soil Creep?

8 Four Years’ Mass-Wasting, Bosnia

9 100*40/2 cm 2 = 2000 cm 2 (4 years) = 500 cm 2 /year Removed from 1 km slope per year = 500 cm 2 /100,000 cm = 1 cm/200 yr = 5000 cm (50 m)/m.y. = 50m /m.y. A 1-m (100 cm) soil mantle yields 500 cm 2 /year, so movement = 500 cm 2 /year/100 cm = 5 cm/year

10 Mudflows, California

12 Avalanche Chute, Colorado

13 Rockfalls, Yosemite, California

14 Landslide, Mount Saint Helens
