All of these can be used to recognize prehistoric slope failures. Sedimentary deposits may show evidence of disruption and deformation caused by shifting slopes. The orientation of beds and other geologic structures may be disturbed or tilted due to a slope failure event. Masses of rock fragments that are unusual for an area may be evidence of landslides or other slope failures. Hummocky topography may indicate the presence of debris or material deposited by a slope failure. Therefore, all of these options provide valuable information for recognizing prehistoric slope failures.
