How are landslides different from mudfows?
A landslide consists of a mass of soil or rock moving as a single solid mass, with a definite plain of failure and relatively little deformation within the moving mass itself. A mudflow behaves as a fluid. There is no definite plane of failure and there is significant deforemation within the moving mass.
What is the unit and tool of a mass of rock?
i think its the size of the rock
What is the sudden movement of a rock masses as a result of tech tonic earthquakes?
The sudden movement in rock mass causes earthquakes. This is when the rock mass comes together and collapses.
What factors affect rock failure and resistance?
Hydrology Erosion Tectonic activity
What kind of rock is an intrusion made of?
An intrusion is a mass of igneous rock that forms when melted rock moves into cracks in rock layers and then cools.

Why does a car rock back and forth while driving?
possible ignition wires/coil, mass airflow, or torque converter clutch failure.
What is the the point where rocks break and release energy in the form of seismic waves?
This is the point where the stress exceeds the strength of the rock leading to a brittle failure (or rupture) where cracks or fractures propagate through the rock mass. Where a pre-existing plane of weakness such as a fault is present this will control the failure behaviour with the shear strength of the fault plane rather than of the rock mass dominating the failure behaviour.
What are the different types of slope failure for rock slopes?
1. shear failure 2. rock flow 3. rock fall
Mass in a rock?
The mass of a rock depends on the type of rock studied. Heavier rocks generally will have a higher mass.
What is mass failure?
Barack Obama
What is the mass of a rock that weighs 94 newtons?
On earth the rock has a mass of 9.6kg
What is the mass if a rock that weighs 49 newtons?
The rock's mass on earth will be 5kg (mass = force in newtons / 9.807)
When a rock is placed in a container full of water it displaces 250ml of water The mass of the rock is 5.63 times the mass of the water what is the volume and mass of the rock?
The volume of the rock is the amount of water it displaces, 250ml. Considering that 1ml of water has a mass of 1 mg, the mass of the rock is 5.63 x 250gm = 1,407.5mg.
What is the mass of the rock?
It depends on the size of the rock.
What is the mass of a rock?
It depends on the size of the rock.
What is the mass of a rock that weighs 75 newtons?
On earth the rock's mass is 75 / 9.807 or about 7.65kg
