Mass Movement: Mass movement is dependent on the development of instability on a hill slope when equilibrium has been disturbed. Safety Factor is a measured by ratio of resistance which the slope offers against movement (sheer STRENGHT) to the force which is trying to enact that movement (sheer STRESS) Factors affecting Sheer STRESS 1) Angle /Steepness of Slope: Inclination of slope will affect the magnitude of gravitational force enacting on the regolith. a. the larger the angle

Volcanic mountains are mountains that form when molten rock erupts onto the earth’s surface. They can either form on land or in the ocean. The Cascade Range in Washington‚ Oregon and northern California is composed of volcanic mountains. Some of the largest volcanic mountains are found along divergent boundaries‚ which form the mid-ocean ridges. The mid-ocean ridges have huge volcanic mountain chains that run through the Atlantic‚ Pacific and Indian Oceans. The mountains in the mid-ocean ridges can

Influence of Jamuna Bridge on River Morphological Changes Md. Sirajul Islam* Supervisor: Prof. Shinji Egashira** MEE 11626 ABSTRACT Influences of Jamuna bridge on the changes of river morphology are investigated by the field data as well as by numerical computations using a 2-D depth integrated water and sediment flow model. The Jamuna bridge was constructed on 1998‚ and reduced the river flood width from 14.00 km to 4.8 km. Data analyses suggest that rapid morphological changes in terms
