What is the force behind mass movements?
gravity.
What is the mass movements of surface water is called?
Mass movements of water are called currents. This is equally true for surface water or deeper water.
What is the reflex that stimulates mass movements of the colon?
gastroileal
What is mass movements are caused by gravity or glaciers?
Gravity
What are examples of mass movement?
The mass movements are: slump, creep, falls, slides, flows and avalanche.
What is the force behind mass movements?
gravity.
Three kinds of mass movements?
The three main types of mass movements are landslides (movement of rock, soil, and debris down a slope), mudflows (rapid flow of a mixture of water, rock, soil, and debris), and rockfalls (sudden collapse or falling of rocks from a steep slope). These mass movements can be triggered by factors such as heavy rainfall, earthquakes, or human activities.
Why do over-steepened slopes lead to mass movements?
if the steepness of a slope exceeds the stable angle, mass movements become more likely.
What is the mass movements of surface water is called?
Mass movements of water are called currents. This is equally true for surface water or deeper water.
Why are poverty stricken people unlikely recruits for mass movements?
People living on a day to day basis are a group unlikely to be recruited into mass movements for major changes in society. The goals of such people are to merely survive and any distractions such as mass movements, are a low priority.
Where are mass movements most common?
Mass movements are most common in regions with steep slopes, loose soil or rock material, heavy precipitation, and seismic activity. Areas prone to mass movements include mountainous regions, coastal cliffs, and areas with a history of landslides or rockfalls. Human activities such as deforestation and construction can also increase the risk of mass movements.
What is the reflex that stimulates mass movements of the colon?
gastroileal
What is mass movements are caused by gravity or glaciers?
Gravity
What causes mass movements?
tectonic plates. go to wikipedia to find out how tectonic plates relate to earthquakes, continental movements, and volcanoes
Which principle is behind earths cycle such as the rock cycle the carbon cycle and the water cycle?

What are examples of mass movement?
