(a) Small scarp along tension crack appears in photo (middle right). Small highway cut is far below to the left.
Scarp appeared after soil was removed from small slump failure at the toe (BR 101, Santa Catarina, Brazil).
Movement is in residual soil. If uncorrected, a very large failure will develop. (b) Tension crack in the same
slope found in another location.
