natka813 [3]

Mass movement, which is sometimes called <em>waste movement</em> or <em>slope movement, </em>is defined as the large movement of rock, soil and debris downward due to the force of gravity.

<h3>Factors affecting mass movement </h3>

1.  Slope  

    - Gravity provides the energy to move the materials.  

    - Rapid movements (e.g. landslide, slumping) etc.

2.  Water

     - Rainwater acts as a lubricant to weathered materials.  

     - Rainwater adds weight to weathered materials.  

3.   Rock structure  

     - Joints dipping downslope usually assists landslides, rockfalls, rockslide etc

4.  Vegetation  

     - Lack of vegetation cover to hold the loose particles.  

5.  Vibrations  

     - Earthquakes.  

     - Construction processes and mining operations.
