Mass Wasting and Infiltration

In the movie, the area below is called the Training Grounds Firespot Ledge. In this image, the layout of this area is a form of colluvium. There are angular slopes in many directions. One view is from the top of the rocks towards the view to the bridge and below the bridge. 


Another form I saw was the evolution models. Evolution models are made from pediments. Those are the flat surfaces before another towering piece of land is formed. In the images it shows below the bridge where there is a flat surface and the rocks where the bridge is sitting is where there is pediments.


The image shows a form of talus casued from the rocks falling. We can see the rocks are pieces that look has been broken and landed on each other to be in the areas it is now to have to different slopes that were formed.
