What type of mass movement is based on fast moving mud and saturated soil?

• Mudslides

• Creep

• Rock Slides

• Avalanche

This type of mass wasting is the fastest and most violent type of dry soil erosion.

• Creep

• Mudslides

• Rock Slide

• Slump

This type of mass movement is a sudden downward movement of soil. This is not considered too dangerous.
