Notes to answerer
Asker: Pediram para minha cliente mandar fazer uma revisão urgente no inglês do texto que foi feito por outro tradutor. Então, então, enviou-me como o texto estava. A pessoa que fez a versão colocou "Boulder detachment and falling" para "Rolamento e desplacamento de blocos rochosos" . Modifiquei para "Rock-block detachment and fall". Só não quero modificar a versão de um colega se for para piorar, entende? O que acha?
