| Continental rises form as a result of three sedimentary processes: mass wasting, the deposition from contour currents, and the vertical settling of clastic and biogenic particles. |
| The classification and the characterisation of landslide mechanism are needed to infer the behaviour and the tsunamigenic potential of mass wasting. |
| Great advantage to the identification of past mass wasting will derive from detailed seafloor mapping. |
| Surficial geomorphic agents of denudation responsible for many, if not most, landforms include mass wasting, running water, glacial ice, and wind. |
| Associated with mass wasting processes such as fall, flows, slides and subsidence. |
| Furthermore, the accompanying fatigue, lean muscle mass wasting, and general malaise diminishes the quality of life and may result in decreased ability to perform daily living activities. |
