Which type of mass movement moves the slowest?

• The tree roots soak up water
  
• The trees keep the soil in place
  
• Trees add homes for wildlife
  
• Just a and b

What causes all mass movement

• rain
• snow
• gravity
• deforestation

A fast moving mix of water, soil and rocks would be

• creep
• slump
• rockslide
• mudslide

Big chunks of land falling down a curved slope all at once would be an example of

• Slump

What is mass movement?

• When rain causes the land to become very muddy and flow across the land
  
• When rivers carry pieces of dirt and sediment
  
• When gravity causes material to move uphill
  
• When gravity causes material to move downhill
  

Why do heavy rains help cause mass movement?

• They cause the plants to grow
  
• They cause the soil to be wet and heavy
  
• They cause the animals to come out of their homes
  
• They cause strong winds
