Earthquake
Flood
Landslide
Sinkhole
Student B observes a region where rockfall and debris mix with water and forms a slide that can travel considerable distances. What geologic phenomenon does student B observe?

If you were the geologist assigned to investigate how each type of land subsidence occurs, what type of landslide would you classify when evidence shows that soil travels short distances at speeds ranging from rapid to very rapid, with minimal damage likely to the topmost vegetation of the slope?
Creep
Debris slide
Rockfall

Differentiate dissolution sinkholes and cover-collapse sinkholes.
Dissolution sinkhole form in areas where the bedrock is made of soluble rock such as limestone, gypsum, or salt, whereas cover-collapse sinkholes form suddenly as the soil over a soluble rock layer collapse into underground cavities.
Dissolution sinkhole forms when water gradually dissolves the soluble rock, creating underground cavities, while cover-collapse sinkholes typically occur in areas where the soluble rock is covered by a layer of non-soluble material such as clay or sand.
Both A and B
None of the above
What type of landslide in which the soil is involved and can travel short distances and vary from rapid to very rapid?
