Question 19 • WCA 4130 Earth and Space Science 1st Quarter 26-27

Which type of mass movement is the most destructive?

Answer
A
creep
B
erosion
C
landslide
D
slump

Explanation

A landslide moves a large mass of rock or soil rapidly downhill, often causing major damage to buildings, roads, and land. Creep is very slow, and a slump is a particular type of slide; erosion is the wearing away and transport of material rather than a single rapid mass movement. Therefore, landslide is the most destructive choice.
