Weathering, Soil & Mass Movement

This Mass Moved!

The transfer of rock and soil downslope due to gravity is called mass movement. Most landforms are caused by both weathering and mass movement. Among the factors that commonly trigger mass movements are saturation of surface materials with water, oversteepening of slopes, removal of vegetation, and earthquakes.
