all of the above are factors in mass wasting | |||
| 7 | Which of the following is not accurate concerning water and mass wasting in unconsolidated (loose) materials? |
|||
| A) |
Slopes can be unstable if the material is too dry | |||
| B) |
Slopes can be more stable if the material has some water in it | |||
