which situation(s) is/are likely to result in a slump?
loose, sandy sediment with little vegetation
excess rainfall
all of these are likely to promote slumping
humans under - cutting the \toe\ of a steep slope (for example, with a new roadway)
A slump is a type of mass wasting where a block of material slides along a curved surface. Loose sandy sediment with little vegetation lacks binding to resist sliding. Excess rain adds weight to sediment and reduces friction between particles. Undercutting the toe of a slope removes support, destabilizing the upper material. All these factors contribute to slumping.
