Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Talus slopes are formed by fragments of rocks and debris that fall from higher elevations. Therefore, the motion that supplies material to and maintains talus slopes is the falling motion, also known as free-fall, of rocks and debris. Flow, slide, and slump are also types of mass wasting, but they do not necessarily provide the same amount of material to talus slopes as the falling process.
