Remember to take notes on the concepts presented in all modules. You may very well see this material again on a Concept Quick Quiz!! Module 1.1 - Reading as a Complex Cognitive Process. Learning Objectives: When you finish Mod 1.1 you should be able to answer the following questions:
a rapid, downslope movement of earth materials that occurs when a relatively thin block of loose soil, rock and debris separates from the underlying bedrock. rock slide. a type of landslide that occurs when a sheet of rock moves downhill along a sliding surface. slump.
You may have seen this one in class, but here's how the Norwegians approach mass movement management: Landslides. This is the downslope movement of a large block of material that moves as a coherent mass, ie it retains its internal structure until hitting the base of the slope and fracturing into smaller pieces. It is more common over wet periods, and on steep slopes, and often observed on coastlines.
