Answer to Question 1

Answer: Falls, slides, and flows. The amount of rock and regolith removed by the incision of a valley by persistent flow of water in a narrow stream channel is small compared to the volume of rock and regolith that episodic falls, slides, and flows bring down the steep valley slopes.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Flows are the continuous movement of rock, regolith, or both that behaves like a high-viscosity liquid.
