Which criterion is not used to describe a mass movement event?

Question

Question 15 options:

A)

The motion of the failure

B)

The rate at which the movement occurred

C)

The angle of the slope

D)

The type of material that failed

Answer 1

The criterion that is not typically used to describe a mass movement event is:

C) The angle of the slope

While the angle of the slope can influence the occurrence of mass movements, it is not a direct criterion used to describe the characteristics of the event itself, unlike the other options which relate more directly to the nature of the mass movement that has occurred.
