GEOL105 Lecture Notes - Lecture 10: Mass Wasting
Document Summary
Mass on a slope is kept in place by a balance of forces. Any change in the forces may destabilize the mass and allow movement. Slide dynamics - he drew a diagram. L = load or weight a= angle of slope. D= driving force, parallel to slope f= resisting force if f>d, slide will not occur. To get slide to occur, f
