WEATHERING ROCK FALL / FALL

 The process of breaking down  Involves direct downward pull

of rocks into small pieces of gravity where rock moves
vertically down a steep slope.
Physical Weathering
ROCK SLIDE / SLIDE
Sudden change of the temperature
which caused the rocks to break.  Large mass of rocks move
rapidly down a slope with little
Chemical Weathering or no fluids (water)
Decomposition of rocks by the alteration
of its mineral.
MUDFLOW / FLOW
 oil and rock move down a
slope in a fluid manner due to
the presence of water
SLUMP
 Similar to rock slides and
mudflows but without
translational movement
CREEP
 the slowest mass wasting
process
 Soil and rock move in different
directions slowly over a long
period of time
WATER CYCLE
EVAPORATION
water vapor rises with air.
CONDENSATION
Clouds becomes saturated with
water.
SHIELD VOLCANO
 Looks like a very broad shield
(very wide)
 Made from multiple sequences of
low viscosity lava piled on top of
each other.
CINDER CONE VOLCANO
 Landforms with very low slopes
(very steep)
 Made from pyroclastic fragments
STRATOVOLCANO
 “Not too wide” shield volcano and
“not too steep” volcano
 Made up of pyroclastic materials
and lava
HAWAIIAN
 Effusive, quiet emission of lava
with very low volatile content
STROMBOLIAN

PRECIPITATION  The same with hawaiian but with

more viscuous lava with short –
