sliding surface resulting from a lack of ground in the base of the mountain Explanation: "el plano de deslizamiento de una falta de pie de monte" should be analyzed together. The "plano de deslizamiento" is the "sliding surface", referring to the plan in which the terrain is sliding. This sliding is due to a "falta de pie de monte", or "lack of bottom in the mountain". The mountain lacks ground in its base, and thus the terrain tends to slide down. |
