Which of the following can lead to the slope failure that causes mass movement?
A) saturation from rainfall
B) oversteepening of the slope
C) earthquakes
D) volcanic eruptions
E) saturation, oversteepening of slopes, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of the listed factors (saturation, oversteepening of slopes, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions) can contribute to slope failure and mass movement. Saturation can cause soil to become unstable and lead to erosion, oversteepening of slopes can cause unstable conditions and increase the likelihood of landslides, earthquakes can trigger landslides by shaking the ground and dislodging materials, and volcanic eruptions can cause landslides through ashfall and fast-moving pyroclastic flows.
