What force causes the downhill movement of a landslide?
Gravity
Does gravity or wind quickly pulls rocks and dirt downhill in a landslide?
Gravity is the primary force that causes rocks and dirt to move downhill in a landslide. Wind can contribute to the movement of loose material, but gravity is the dominant force in causing landslides.
What is known as rock and soil that fall due to gravity?
A landslide.
What is the slow downhill movement of rock and soil caused by gravity?
Landslide or landslip.
What is a sentence for natural forces?
The natural forces of erosion and gravity caused the landslide.
How does rain form a landslide?
Rain causes rock and sediment to be loosened, and gravity does the rest
Is a landslide chemical or physical?
Landslide is a physical phenomenon (geological).
What name is given to the mass movement of rock and soil downhill due to gravity?
This is known as a landslide.
What is the answer for On tall mountains or steep slopes the force of gravity can create a type of mass wasting?
The answer is "landslide."
A landslide is an example of?
A landslide is an example of mass wasting, which is the downward movement of rocks and soil under the influence of gravity. It occurs when the force of gravity acting on a slope exceeds the strength of the materials holding the slope together, resulting in the sudden and rapid movement of debris downslope.
Is a landslide a physical or chemical change?
A landslide is a physical change because it involves the movement of rock and sediment down a slope due to gravity. There is no change in the chemical composition of the materials involved in a landslide.
Which erosional force acts alone to produce avalanches and landslides?
Gravity acts alone to produce avalanches and landslides. When the force of gravity exceeds the strength of the material holding it in place on a slope, the material will move downhill in the form of an avalanche or landslide.
