Text and Images from Slide

Image shows dipping sedimentary beds.

15.1 What are the characteristics of mass movements?

Fig 15.5

A planar slide surface in California. Material slides down the steeply inclined bedding planes and into the ocean. This road

closes frequently due to rock slides.

Rupture surfaces often follow a preexisting orientation that is prone to weakness, like the sedimentary bedding planes shown here.
