Mass Wasting

Mass wasting is the array of processes in which earth material is transported down a slope by the force of gravity. Mass wasting can be either slow moving (creeping) or fast moving.

The types of mass wasting are creep, slump and slide, flow and fall.

• Creep is a slow downward movement of regolith as a result of gravity.
• Slump and Slide occurs when a mass of regolith slides over or creates a concave surface. As a result, a small, crescent-shaped cliff known as a scarp, is formed at the upper end.
• Flow is when a less uniform, or more chaotic, mass of material moves rapidly down a slope.
• Fall is the movement along slopes that almost perpendicular to the ground.

Given that the Netherlands is a very low altitude and has very little, if any, mountainous terrain, there is barely any type of mass wasting. The Netherlands does get a significant amount of rainfall so if they do have mountains and cliffs, I would assume that the Netherlands would have mudslides and landslides.

I was not able to find any information on mass wasting in the Netherlands. I spent almost 2 and a half hours researching and I had no luck.

If you have any links or information so that i can learn about it myself that would be greatly appreciated.
