Mass Wasting And Denudation

The mass wasting and denudation process which occurred on January of 2002 in Hope, was a complex movement of: rock, organic materials, and soil, through flooding on mountains that was triggered by heavy rain fall in the area. Because Hope is surrounded by mountains, the soil can grow extremely loose through heavy rains and melting of snow as it happened in 2002. Two kinds of of weathering occurred through the melted snow and heavy rain fall, which caused the mass wasting and denudation. Hydrolysis and frost shattering triggered the mudslide, through chemical decomposition of silicates in expanding rock and freezing of rocks that allowed water leeks. The mudslide swept unstable rock, boulders, damp soil, pushing the materials together, sending
