Drag and drop the following types of Mass Wasting to their correct definitions.

• Flowing

• The downslope movement of a coherent block of material.

• Sliding

• Slides along a curved slip plane, producing head scarps and a tongue.

• Creeping

• The free fall of earth material.

• Falling

• Downslope movement of unconsolidated material in which particles move about and mix within the mass.

• Slumping

• Very slow flow, which is usually only visible by the damage it causes to trees, fences, retaining walls, roads, etc.
