Discussion questions:
What kinds of mass-wasting processes occur where you live? Can you identify any evidence that would suggest how rapidly or how slowly mass wasting is moving regolith downslope? Look especially for signs of creep, which occurs almost everywhere. Some clues are bent tree trunks, curved fences, lobes of soil on grassy slopes, and tilted gravestones.
