PPT-Mass wasting

Mechanics of Mass Wasting An object resting on a horizontal surface will move only when it encounters a force acting parallel to the horizontal surface The force of gravity . 1 Mass Wasting The downslope movement of rock, regolith, and soil under the direct influence of gravity Gravity is the controlling force Mass WastingImportant triggering factors Week 6.
