When the soil and earthy material on a steep slope become charged with water, their weight is greatly increased. At the same time the water makes them more mobile. Under these circumstances the material sometimes slides down the slopes. Such movements are known as slumping or sliding. If the movement is on a large scale, it is a landslide. 4, record 2, English, - slumping

The Mitchell Peak Granodiorite, Sierra Nevada, California, has an outcrop exposure of nearly 50% stoped blocks in its youngest intrusive phase and an estimated 20% exposure of stoped blocks throughout the entire pluton.

À l'affleurement, la granodiorite de Mitchell Peak, dans la chaîne des Sierra Nevada, en Californie, montre une surface faite de presque 50 % de blocs effondrés représentatifs du faciès précoce, et ailleurs dans le pluton, d'environ 20 % de blocs effondrés. Dans ce pluton, l'effondrement de blocs semble un processus important. Il s'agit donc d'un endroit exceptionnel pour étudier les effets de tels affaissements dans l'évolution de systèmes magmatiques. 2, record 4, French, - effondrement
