What is downward rapid movement of rocks resulting in mass wasting?
uhhh i think its weathering??
Downward rapid movement of rocks resulting in mass wasting is called?
The downward rapid movement of rocks resulting in mass wasting is called rockfall. It occurs when rocks or rock fragments fall freely through the air due to the force of gravity.
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.
What are two types of mass wasting?
Two types of mass wasting are landslides and rockfalls. Landslides involve the downward movement of rock or soil under the force of gravity, while rockfalls occur when individual rocks or blocks detach and fall freely downslope.
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
When do rocks move past each other without upward or downward movement?
This is called a strike-slip fault.
Rocks on eighter side of this move past each other without much upward or downward movement?

What is the combination of weathering and movement of the resulting sediments of other rocks?
The combination of weathering and movement of resulting sediments of rocks is known as erosion. Weathering breaks down rocks into smaller pieces, while erosion transports these sediments to new locations through the action of water, wind, ice, or gravity.
The traveling of a mass of material downslope is called what?
The traveling of a mass of material downslope is called mass wasting or mass movement. It refers to the movement of rocks, soil, and debris due to the force of gravity.
How does gravity erode a landform?
Gravity erodes a landform by pulling sediments or rocks downward, causing them to move. This movement, known as mass wasting, can lead to erosion through processes like landslides, rockfalls, and creep. Over time, gravity works to reshape and wear down the landform by carrying particles downhill.
What causes mass wasting?
Mass wasting is caused when there are loose rocks and soil on a mountain, then somthing moves it. Then it all falls down the mountain causing a landslide. Denver Simmons
