What agent of erosion is mass movement?
Gravity. Example of mass movement (or mass wasting) include landslides and earthflows.
How is weathering different than mass wasting?
mass wasting is in the form of landslides,etc. when the soil moves down which is due to deforestation weathering is the breaking up of rocks due to natural agents which takes place for a long time
What are the effects of mass wasting on the environment?
effects of mass wasting
What climate influence in mass wasting?
why the mass wasting accurs
How do you control Mass wasting problems?
whats the main control of mass wasting
What agent of erosion is mass movement?
Gravity. Example of mass movement (or mass wasting) include landslides and earthflows.
What is the type of erosion?
Mass wasting, which includes landslides, can move incredible amounts of sediments in only seconds.
What are the characteristics of mass wasting?
Heavy rain ,earthquakes,and lossen rocks and soil
What mass wasting factor do you think are of most concern in the portland area?
Landslides due to rainfall, or earthquake that causes soil liquefaction, which would cause widespread landslides/slumps

How can you put the word mass wasting in a sentence?
Mass wasting is hazardous and could kill you.
What is an example of fast mass movement?
landslides/bogbursts/mudflows the best answer is landslides
What are the types and descriptions of mass movements?
Mass wasting is considered by geologists as the movement of dirt, rock, sediment, and landscape downhill. Landslides, slump, creep, rock falls, debris falls, rock slides, mudslides, mudflows, lahar, avalanche, and debris flows are all types of mass wasting. Also, any kind of erosion (mechanical/chemical) moving sediment downhill.
What is the differences between landslide and mass wasting?
landslide is a type of mass wasting
