| Row | CODE | DESCRIPTION | TRANSLATION | STATUS | DATE_ENTERED | DATE_UPDATED |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 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 | C | 04-OCT-01 | 27-FEB-04 |
| 2 | 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 | C | 11-OCT-01 | |
| 3 | 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 | C | 30-AUG-01 | |
| 4 | 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 | C | 30-AUG-01 | |
| 5 | 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 | C | 30-AUG-01 | |
| 6 | 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 | C | 30-AUG-01 | |
| 7 | X | 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 | C | 25-NOV-05 | |
| 8 | - | Not Applicable | Not Applicable | C | 30-AUG-01 | |
| 9 | ! | Not Available - Applicable but try as we might,we can't find a value. | Not Available | C | 30-AUG-01 | |
| 10 | ? | Not Entered - We haven't assigned a value yet | Not Entered | C | 30-AUG-01 | |
| 11 | SU | Slide undifferentiated. Known to be a slide but not known if planar or rotational | SLIDE UNDIFFERENTIATED | C | 25-NOV-05 | |
| 12 | C | Composite. A composite landslide exhibits at least two movements simultaneously in different parts of the displacing mass | COMPOSITE | C | 25-NOV-05 |
