Idaho State University: Landslides, Slope Failure, Other Mass Wasting Processes
Slope failure is the downslope movement of rock debris and soil in response to gravitational stresses. Three major types of mass wasting are classified by the type of downslope movement. The types of movement, falls, slides, and flows...

Serc: Angle of Repose
In this activity, students measure the maximum slope at which grains are stable (the angle of repose). They explore how different properties of the sediment influence slope stability and lead to different slope failures (mass movements)....
