Question

Identify the false statement.

A. Weathering, vegetation covering, and water influence the stability of a slope.
B. Roots of vegetation tend to hold un-consolidated grains together and thus help stabilize slopes.
C. Saturating a slope with water tends to hold unconsolidated grains together and thus helps stabilize slopes.
D. Weathered rock is more susceptible to mass movement than is fresh rock.
E. Forest fires followed by heavy rains are likely to result in severe mud and debris flows.

Answer 1

Answer: Saturating a slope with water tends to hold unconsolidated grains together and thus helps stabilize slopes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

A. Weathering, vegetation covering, and water influence the stability of a slope.

Step-by-step explanation:

• As water tends to flow down by the act of gravity the flow of the water down the slope will make the unconsolidated sediments to flow down the slope and thereby making the slope more prone to weathering and not stabilization it hence the flow tends to move down the rocks, silt and loose particles and thus making it me prone to weathering and erosion.

• Thus the flowage of the matter will create more impacts on the slope angle and width as it will spread more faster and extensively.
