What is types of slope failure?Show answer
Mass movement (the downslope movement of rock and soil under gravity) takes several forms:
What are the balance of forces?Show answer
Slope stability is a contest between two sets of forces:
What is factors that trigger failure?Show answer
Anything that increases the driving force or decreases the resisting force can trigger failure:
