Role of water in mass wasting |
|
Answer» Answer: A small amount of water can help to HOLD the soil particles together however, too much water can work negatively causing it to SLOPE down. Explanation: Water also increases the mass of the soil, this is important because an increase in mass MEANS that there will be an increase in velocity if mass wasting is triggered. Saturated water, however, eases the PROCESS of mass wasting in that the rock and soil debris are easily WASHED down-slope. |
