Question

Examine and explain the ways in which vegetation change from a forest to a grassland cover is likely to affect the stability of the hillslope

Expert Solution

Step 1

The Stability of slope is also a function of vegetation or forest cover it supports.
Deep rooted trees of a forest reduce the risk of landslide or slope failure.
Managed forests provide less stability compared to unmanaged forests.

Stop D: The High Level LRT bridge section (UTM 333280 5934116, NAD 83) Immediately west of the LRT bridge is an small cliff in which are displayed 6-7 m of fine-grained sediment that shows almost horizontal layers, believed to have formed in the last 8000 years. The exposure is parallel to the river, and is preserved from erosion and is accessible because and engineered berm has been constructed between the section and the river. At the top of the section one can see the remnants of a brickyard that operated at the site between 1898 and 1913. A huge flood destroyed the yard in 1915, giving a good impression of the magnitude of peak historic flooding and flows. Within the lower third of the cliff there is a conspicuous whitish layer, and several brown to red layers. Grains in the whitish layer have been dated using isotopes to between 7584- 7682 years before present. This age coincides with the eruption of Mount Mazama, a huge volcano that existed on the site of Crater Lake, Oregon.…
