types of mass movement geography
Types of mass movement. Soil creep is nearly imperceptible to the naked eye as it is the slowest of all types of mass movement. Soil creep generally occurs in the top few meters of the surface and is accomplished by expansion and contraction of the soil.
1 There are three main types of mass movement 2  â¦. Angle of slope â the steeper the slope the faster the movement. 3  Rainfall â a lot of water will lubricate the cliff, especially if it is clay â and lead to mud flows. 4  Vegetation cover â with no vegetation there is nothing to impede the movement of debris.
