It is annotated with concise but complete labels that identify important features. Short sentences describe the processes that are occurring. The final aim is to show the relationships between features and processes. It is not simply a sketch labeled with only the names of features.

The term landslide is often used as a synonym, but mass wasting is a much broader term referring to all movement downslope. Movement by mass wasting can be slow or rapid. Rapid movement can be dangerous, such as during debris flows.

Here you will investigate the processes that mobilize earth materials and the surface changes that result from weathering, erosion, and mass movement. Compare and contrast chemical and physical weathering. Explain how mass movement occurs and the landform features created by it. Explain how splash, sheet, rill and gully erosion occurs.
