Hillside Erosion Explanation: I think this is what ti means, although 'hillside erosion' is more likely 'escorrentía de ladera'. On the coast it could refer to cliff movement/erosion too.It can have devastating consequences for nearby buildings. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coastal_erosion |

mass wasting / slope movement / mass movement Explanation: I'm no expert but this seems to fit the description. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 mins (2011-08-08 11:53:01 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.ecomii.com/science/encyclopedia/mass-wasting -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 mins (2011-08-08 11:53:33 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Mass wasting A generic term for downslope movement of soil and rock, primarily in response to gravitational body forces. Mass wasting is distinct from other erosive processes in which particles or fragments are carried down by the internal energy of wind, running water, or moving ice and snow.

peer agreement (net): +2slope movement Explanation: [PDF] 15 3. MOVIMIENTOS DE LADERA Se entiende como movimiento de ... - [ Translate this page ] www.ugr.es/~ren03366/DEA/TEMAS/memoria/3_MOVIMIENTOS.pdfSim... File Format: PDF/Adobe Acrobat - View as HTML Se entiende como movimiento de ladera, “slope movement” (Varnes, 1978) o “landslide” (Sharpe, 1938), el movimiento de una masa de roca, suelo o derrubios, de una ladera en sentido descendente (Cruden, 1991). Se incluye cualquier tipo de movimiento en masa (se excluye por tanto la erosión), excepto la subsidencia y el hundimiento kárstico (Fernández, 2001). Otra definición que se manifiesta en términos análogos es la aportada por Corominas y García Yagüe definiendo movimientos de ladera como los movimientos del terreno o desplazamientos que afectan a los materiales en laderas o escarpes. Estos desplazamientos se producen hacia el exterior de las laderas y en sentido descendente como consecuencia de la fuerza de la gravedad (Corominas y García Yagüe, 1997). Los hundimientos de cavidades o de materiales están excluidos de estos movimientos (Varnes, 1978). |
