Glaciers, moving water, wind, settling out in salt water, settling out in fresh
water, due to gravity movement downslope
Consistency of Cohesive Soil depends on :
,Give this one a try later!
Depends on the water content of the soil.
( At very low water contents, soil sample behaves like a solid )
( At very high water contents, may flow like a liquid)

type of slope failure or downward sediment
Soil is classified according to characteristic properties such as :
Give this one a try later!
Cohesion: non-cohesive soils ( gravel, sand ) and cohesive soils ( silt, clay )
Grain size: coarse-grained soils ( sand, gravel ) and fine-grained soils ( silt,
clay )
The three types of shear failure of soil are
