What is the movement of surface water into rocks or soil through cracks or pore spaces?
Infiltration is the movement of surface water into rocks or soil through cracks or pore spaces.
Why is the movement of weathered rocks and soil?
erosion and or transportation
The sudden movement of a rock and soil down a slope?
the sudden movement of rocks and soil down a hill is a
What is a rapid movement downhill of rocks soil or other matirials?
a landslide
What is a large falling movement of loose rocks and soil called?
A large falling movement of loose rocks and soil is called a landslide. This can be triggered by factors such as heavy rainfall, earthquakes, or human activities.
What scientific word describes the movement of rocks and pebbles?
The movement of rocks and pebbles is known as erosion. This process involves the wearing away of rocks and soil by natural forces such as water, wind, or ice.
What is the difference between a landslide and a mudslide?
A landslide is the movement of rocks, soil, and debris down a slope, while a mudslide is the movement of wet, loose soil and water down a slope.
Is erosion when rocks and soil are moved?
Erosion is the process of wearing away and breaking down rocks and soil through the action of wind, water, or ice, leading to their movement from one place to another.
What is the difference between weathering and mass movement?
Weathering is the breakdown of rocks and minerals at or near the Earth's surface, while mass movement is the downhill movement of rock, soil, and debris due to gravity. Weathering results in the disintegration of rocks, while mass movement involves the transportation of weathered materials downslope.
What is the downhill mass movement of rocks or soil due to gravity called?
The downhill mass movement of rocks or soil due to gravity is called a landslide. It can be triggered by factors such as heavy rainfall, earthquakes, or human activities that destabilize the slope. Landslides can cause significant damage to infrastructure and pose a threat to human life.
How do minerals enter the soil by rocks?
The minerals get into the soil by erosion of the rocks.
How can I effectively sift rocks out of soil?
To effectively sift rocks out of soil, you can use a sieve or a screen with small holes to separate the rocks from the soil. Simply pour the soil and rocks onto the sieve and shake it gently to allow the soil to fall through while the rocks remain on top. Repeat the process until most of the rocks are removed from the soil.
