falls slides and flows need disambiguating edit

Latest comment: 11 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

falls slides and flows, are probably meant to be linked to some sort of relevant definition I did consider linking them to rockfall, land slide (or possibly rockslide would be better) and debris flow/mudflow, but it seemed as if the intent was more to link to falling (physics), sliding (physics) and flowing (physics), but falling physics redirects to free fall - and so doesn't really address the issue, perhaps it should just point to the relevant wiktionary page, but unless you can link to a particular definition that seems unlikely to help anyone who doesn't really know what is meant.

Clarifying different schemes and their conflicts edit

This article had significant misrepresentation of the Varnes-Hungr scheme. Varnes explicitly excludes most of the types of mass movement he classified from "landslide", whereas the article presented them all as kinds of landslide. I've made some pervasive changes (though still not really enough) to make the ambiguities with other schemes clearer, and to factually correct the material about Varnes. I've propagated these changes over to landslide. DanHobley (talk)
