Streams, running water and glaciers.

Devonian period ( 359-416 million years).

Anything between 99 ppm and 60 ppm.

Without the trees, the runoff would likely be greater as there would not be trees to stop the runoff. there would be less transpiration.

Heavy rain and steep slopes (cliffs), deforestation, or clay soil layers.

How far inland wave action goes, the amount of land slope, location of streams, amount of runoff compared to infiltration, and clay content of soil.

Subducting or colliding plates and a plate boundary that can result in earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

Artificially add varying amounts of rainfall to the area to see how much rainfall is required to produce a mudslide. then compare these results with rainfall data for the area to see if expected rainfall produces enough water to cause mudslide.

– The landscape has a high relief.
– Steep slopes.
– High elevation.

Newark Lowlands.

– Unsorted.
– Mixed.
– Not in layers.
