35 Conclusions There are multiple slides at or above bedrock. Slope movement is greatest near Ohio River and decreases upslope. Rate of slope movement increases after a sudden rise and fall of the Ohio River. Movement of lower slope is triggering slope movement of the lower terrace and then the upper terrace.
