What are four ways that gravity moves sediment and rock?
Through landslides, mudslides, running water, and glaciers.
How is gravity glaciers wind and water alike?
they melt rocks
How is gravity and mass alike?
because with gravity has a couple types but one of them are water that turns to ice and so does glaciers.
How are avalanches or landslides alike?
Avalanches and landslides are similar, as they are both a natural event, where snow/ice or mud freely slides down an inclined surface e.g. a mountain. Other than what is actually sliding, thereis almost no difference between the two.
How do glaciers accumulate their load of sediment?
Glaciers accumulate sediment through various processes. As glaciers move, they pluck and erode rocks from the underlying bedrock, entraining them into the ice. Glaciers also grind and crush the rocks they come into contact with, generating glacial flour or fine-grained sediment. Additionally, glaciers can transport sediment that has been deposited on their surface by wind or landslides, adding to their load of sediment.
How are landslides and and avalanches alike?
Landslides and avalanches are similar, because they are formed where unstable masses fall down a mountainside under gravity. They are different, because landslides are formed fromsolid rock or soil, whereas avalanches are formed from snow and ice.
Which transport media generally results in the most well-sorted sediments?
The transport media that generally results in the most well-sorted sediments is wind. Other transport media include rivers, glaciers and landslides.
Are landslides real?
Yes. Landslides are real events.
What are landslides of the Rocky Mountains?
what are the landslides of the Rocky Mountains
What are ways to prevent landslides?
What are all the ways to prevent landslides.
Is air pollution cause landslides?
no air pollution does not cause landslides
What are three forces that can carry sediment?
Wind, water, and gravity, ice (i.e Glaciers with rocks frozen in them.) -Wind- Picks up sediment and blows it to another place - Water, Carries sediment with... flowing water - Gravity- Making sediments fall down (I.e landslides) - Ice - Rocks with ice in them. (i.e Glaciers with rocks frozen in them.) Falls off when thawed.
