1. The document contains two mass movement homework check sheets with multiple choice questions about different types of mass movements and the conditions under which they typically occur.
2. The questions test knowledge about concepts like erosion, types of mass movements like slides, flows and spreads, how water influences mass movement, and what types of mass movements are most likely under different regional characteristics involving slope steepness, soil/material type, climate patterns and seismic activity.
3. The homework checks ask students to select the best answer for questions about these concepts and match specific mass movement types to regions described in a table based on their defining characteristics.
