  8. Four Years’ Mass-Wasting, Bosnia

  9. 100*40/2 cm2 = 2000 cm2 (4 years) = 500 cm2 /year Removed from 1 km slope per year = 500 cm2 /100,000 cm= 1 cm/200 yr= 5000 cm (50 m)/m.y. = 50m /m.y. A 1-m (100 cm) soil mantle yields 500 cm2 /year, so movement = 500 cm2 /year/100 cm= 5 cm/year Four Years’ Mass-Wasting, Bosnia
