CODE DESCRIPTION TRANSLATION STATUS DATE_ENTERED DATE_UPDATED
FL  Flow. Slow to very rapid movement of saturated material inter-grain movement predominating over shear surface movements. Initial displacement usually by sliding, rapidly transforming to flow.  FLOW  04-OCT-01  27-FEB-04 
SR  Slide rotational. Downslope movement of soil or rock, dominantly on a curved surface of rupture or relatively thin zones of intense shear strain. The mass may slide beyond the surface of rupture over the ground surface called a surface of separation.  ROTATIONAL SLIDE  11-OCT-01   
FA  Fall. Detachment of soil or rock from a steep slope with little or no shearing. Descent mainly through air by falling, bouncing or rolling. Rapid to extremely rapid. Initial detachment may be by sliding or toppling.  FALL  30-AUG-01   
TO  Topple. Forward rotation out of slope of soil or rock about a point or axis below the centre of gravity of the displaced mass. Extremely slow to extremely rapid sometimes accelerating throughout the movement.  TOPPLE  30-AUG-01   
SP  Slide planar. Downslope movement of soil or rock, dominantly on a planar surface of rupture or relatively thin zones of intense shear strain. The mass may slide beyond the surface of rupture over the ground surface which becomes a surface of separation.  PLANAR SLIDE  30-AUG-01   
SD  Spread. An extension of a coherent soil or rock mass combined with the subsidence of the fractured mass of cohesive material into softer underlying material. The surface of rupture is not a surface of intense shear.  SPREAD  30-AUG-01   
Complex. A slide involving one of the five main types of movement followed by two or more of the other main types of movement  COMPLEX  25-NOV-05   
Not Applicable  Not Applicable  30-AUG-01   
Not Available - Applicable but try as we might,we can't find a value.  Not Available  30-AUG-01   
Not Entered - We haven't assigned a value yet  Not Entered  30-AUG-01   
SU  Slide undifferentiated. Known to be a slide but not known if planar or rotational  SLIDE UNDIFFERENTIATED  25-NOV-05   
Composite. A composite landslide exhibits at least two movements simultaneously in different parts of the displacing mass  COMPOSITE  25-NOV-05
