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

Caused by the uneven heating of the atmosphere?
Wind is caused by the uneven heating of the atmosphere. When an area has warmer air than surrounding areas, the air rises which creates a region of low pressure. The areas around it have higher pressure, and therefore air moves from there to the low pressure area. The movement of this air is called wind.
What are the different kinds winds?
Wind is the movement of air from areas of high pressure to low pressure, there are no "types" of wind. Wind is mainly caused by the heating and cooling of the earth via the sun.
