Mass-wasting processes, such as landslides and rockfalls, are mechanisms by which hillslopes can suddenly release material and change.

Learning Goals

• Recognize the types of mass-wasting processes
• Define “stress”
• Review the solution to a block on an inclined plane
• Define coefficient of friction and angle of internal friction
