b. The gradual movement of soil downslope over the course of years or even centuries

c. The rotational movement of soil downslope that occurs along a curved surface of rupture

d. The rotational movement of soil downslope that occurs along a planar surface of rupture

e. A non-cohesive soil flow made up of sand to boulder sized sediments that is triggered by intense rainfall or rapid snow melt

f. a mass of rock dislodged from a steep slope that free falls, bounces or rolls downslope

g. A cohesive soil flow made up of mostly fine grained sediments (e. g., silt, clay and sand) that is triggered by intense rainfall or rapid snow melt
