Soil sloughing is soil falling off banks and slopes due to a loss in cohesion. [1] Soil sloughs off for the same reasons as landslides in general, with very wet soil being among the leading factors. [2] [self-published source] Sloughing is a relatively shallow phenomenon
A river bank will respond to erosional activity based on the characteristics of the bank material. The most common type of bank is a stratified or interstratified bank, which consists of cohesionless layers interbedded with cohesive layers. [5] If the cohesive soil is at the toe of the bank, it will control the retreat rate of the overlying layer.
There are two primary mechanisms of stream bank erosion: fluvial erosion and mass failure. Fluvial erosion is the direct removal of soil particles by flowing water. The rate of fluvial erosion is determined both by the force of the flowing water (e.g. faster flow equals more force) and the resistance of the bank material to erosion (e.g. clay is generally more resistant to erosion than sand).
