Overview
This geology lab assignment includes several questions about landslides and mass movements at different locations, including Gros Ventre, Mud Creek in California, Elkhorn City in Kentucky, and the Palisades in New York. The questions ask for observations such as starting and base elevations of slides, whether the slides are young or old, the number of slides, and their impacts. It also includes questions about the type of plate boundaries, slope stability, causes of past landslides, and whether certain terms like “rockslide” are accurate. The last part requires identifying the type of movement at the Palisades and writing about a famous landslide. Basically, someone answering this would need to give short, clear answers using Google Earth, basic geology knowledge, and a little bit of research.
