Adam is a very successful 15-year-old student and athlete. his mother brings him in today because he no longer studies, works out, or sees his friends. this has gone on for a month and a half. when you speak with him alone in the room, he states it “would be better if he were not here.” what would you do next?

Adam would likely exhibit depression because of his way of behaving, it is best to assess his situation and to assess his suicide risk as his statement is a way of clarifying that a person is having thoughts of having to commit suicide. It is best to assess his situation and to help him in any means possible in coping with his depression.

the correct answer is 2.

a slump in geology means a mass movement process of slope failure. a mass of rock or unconsolidated material drops along a slip surface. in other words, rock layers move a short distance down the slope. the slump block is an intact block (2), without any landslide material.

in this image, 1 is the surface of rapture (scarp), 2 the slump block, 3 main scarp (crown), 4 base of rapture with debris flow.

slumps are caused by clear cutting on unstable soils and the sagging of earth, in coastal areas they are due to wave infiltration.
