11) It is a hard or firm mass that was intact and in its natural place before the initiation of movement.

formed by the weathering of rock in place.
a. Mud b. Rock c. Soil d. Earth
1
13) It contains a significant proportion of coarse material; 20% to 80% of the particles are larger than 2mm,
and the remainder are less than 2mm.
a. Mud b. Rock c. Debris d. Earth
14) It describes material in which 80% or more of the particles are smaller than 2mm, the upper limit of
sand sized particles.
a. Mud b. Rock c. Debris d. Earth

silt sized particles.
a. Mud b. Rock c. Debris d. Earth
16) A type of movement where it starts with the detachment of soil or rock from a steep slope along a
surface on which little or no shear displacement takes place.
a. Falls b. Topples c. Spreads d. Flow
17) It is an extension of a cohesive soil or rock mass combined with a general subsidence of the fractured
mass of cohesive material into softer underlying material.
a. Falls b. Topples c. Spreads d. Flow
18) It is the downslope movement of a soil or rock mass occurring dominantly on the surface of rupture or
relatively thin zones of intense shear strain.
a. Slides b. Topples c. Spreads d. Flow
19) It is a spatially continuous movement in which shear surfaces are short lived, closely spaced and
usually not preserved after the event.
a. Slides b. Topples c. Spreads d. Flow
20) It is the forward rotation, out of the slope, of a mass of soil and rock about a point or axis below the
center of gravity of the displaced mass.
a. Slides b. Topples c. Spreads d. Flow
II. Evaluate the truthfulness of each statement. Write T if the statement is true and F if it is false.
(NRx2=30)
_____1. All sinkholes happen in an instant.
_____2. An earthflow has a characteristic “hourglass” shape.
_____3. Hazard mapping can be done to minimize landslide risks.
_____4. A landslide happens if the driving force is equal to the resisting force.
_____5. Landslides and sinkholes happen without notice and cannot be prevented.
_____6. Landslides can be triggered by extreme rainfall, earthquakes, and human activities.
_____7. Creep is an imperceptibly slow, steady, downward movement of slope forming soil or rock.
_____8. Cover-subsidence sinkhole tend to develop abruptly and cause catastrophic damages.
_____9. A landslide is the very slow to rapid upward movement of a big bulk of soil, debris, rock, and garbage
up a slope.
_____10. Sinkholes naturally occur in areas underlain by minerals and rocks that are soluble or can be dissolved
by water.
_____11. Dissolution sinkhole is the type of sinkhole that occurs in areas where there is little soil or vegetation
over the soluble rock.
_____12. Landslides are openings or pits in the ground surface caused by the collapse in the ceiling of an
underground cavity or space.
_____13. A sinkhole is formed due to the absence of external surface drainage when water gathers inside; the
water would just drain into the subsurface.
_____14. A flow starts with the detachment of soil or rock from a steep slope along a surface on which little or no
shear displacement takes place.
_____15. The Varnes’ system is a landslide classification that utilizes two terms: the first term describes the
material type and the second term describes the type of movement.
