A city experiences a heavy rainfall. Days later, when no rainwater is present, rock, debris, and soil fall down a steep hill.Which type of mass movement does this describe?

Answer
A
creep
B
landslide
C
mudflow
D
slump

Explanation

Rock, debris, and soil moving rapidly down a steep hill is a landslide. A mudflow requires a flowing mixture with substantial water, but the question says no rainwater is present when the material moves. Creep is very slow, and a slump is a specific type of downward movement in a curved slide.
