Which process mass wasting erosion physical weathering or chemical weathering usually requires water?
chemical weathering
Downslope movement of loose sediment and rock by the force of gravity is called?
Mass wasting is the term used to describe the process of the transfer of rock material down slope under the influence of gravity. There are various terms used to describe how these materials move when a mass wasting event is happening, include flow and slide.
What are the fastest forms of mass wasting?
Avalanches and rock slides are the fastest forms of mass wasting.
Difference between internal and external geomorphic process?
External Geomorphic Process: destructive process that serve to denude or wear down the landscape. Includes weathering, mass wasting and erosion. Internal Geomorphic Process: process originating below the surface; include volcanism, folding, and faulting.
What 3 processes act together to wear down and build up earths surface?
Uplift replaces rocks on Earth's surface lost the process of erosion.
Which process mass wasting erosion physical weathering or chemical weathering usually requires water?
chemical weathering
What is downward movement of rocks resulting in mass wasting?
uhhh i think its weathering??
Why is mass wasting common in deserts and semiarid land?
Because in desert is where factors that contribute to mass wasting are commonly found.eg powerfull winds, physicals weathering etc
How does weathering effect Bruce Peninsula National park?
through erosion and mass wasting
What process can transfer igneos rock to sedimentary rock?
Weathering and mass wasting/movement.
What is downward rapid movement of rocks resulting in mass wasting?
uhhh i think its weathering??
What is the differences between landslide and mass wasting?
landslide is a type of mass wasting
What role does mass wasting play in the development of landforms?
mass wasting is the down slope movement of rock and soil under the direct influence of gravity.mass wasting is the step that follows weathering in the evolution of most landforms.
What type of weathering increases mass wasting?
Acid rain causes more mass wasting when people pollute the enviroment and when they smoke make too much use of ciggarete
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
How is Earth's surface is worn down?
denudation forces including mass wasting, weathering, and erosion
What are the problems of soft rock?
They are prone to virtually any form of erosion, weathering and mass movement/wasting.
