Plant vegetation
Build a retaining wall
Slump occurs
rapidly
slowly

a mound or ridge of unsorted sediment deposited by a glacier
a large mass of ice that forms on land and moves slowly

Till is
a mound or ridge of unsorted sediment deposited by a glacier
a large mass of ice that forms on land and moves slowly

Vegetation absorbs water that runs off the land.
True
False
Plant roots hold soil together, reducing the soil's ability to erode.
True
False
Glaciers and landslides move quickly
True
False
Glaciers form on land in areas where the amount of snowfall is less than the amount of snow melt.
True
False
Mass wasting is the result of
excessive amounts of rain
global warming
gravity's pull
Planting vegetation on a slope decreases the chance of mass wasting because
the vegetation absorbs excess water
the roots of the plants help hold the soil together
the vegetation helps reduce the force of falling rain
