Is the placing of materials called erosion?
No, the placing of eroded materials is known as deposition (depositing of the water born material downstream).
If a column of land is left behind by being eroded by waves its called?
This is known as a stack.
When a block of material moves down slopes along a curved surface the type of mass movement is called?
This is known as a landslide with a circular slip geometry.
When snow flows downhill it is called?
It is a snow avalanche or simply an avalanche. (Also known as a snowslide or snowslip.)
What is the wavelike movement of the digestive tract?
That wavelike movement of the digestive tract is known as peristalsis.
What is the downhill movement of eroded material known?

What is gradation as related to geography?
In geography, gradation refers to the process of erosion, transportation, and deposition of soil, rock, and sediment by natural agents like wind, water, and ice. It helps in shaping the landforms of the Earth over long periods of time through processes such as weathering and mass wasting. Gradation plays a crucial role in the formation of various landforms like valleys, mountains, and plains.
What name is given to the mass movement of rock and soil downhill due to gravity?
This is known as a landslide.
Is the placing of materials called erosion?
No, the placing of eroded materials is known as deposition (depositing of the water born material downstream).
What are the four types of mass movement?
Mass movement (also known as mass wasting) can be any of four types of motions :creep (objects lean downhill over many years)slump (rock and soil slip down a hill in one large mass)slides (landslides : rock and soil slide downhill)flows (mudslides and mudflows: rock and soil mixed with water slides downhill)Under some definitions, there are two other types, which do not involve "flows" of material. They are :topples (rock pivots off a slope)falls (rock separates and falls without flowing)
What region is known for its old eroded mountains?
The Appalachian region in the eastern United States is known for its old eroded mountains, including the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Great Smoky Mountains. These mountains were formed hundreds of millions of years ago and have been gradually worn down by erosion.
Where was the material eroded from the grand canyon deposited?
The material eroded from the Grand Canyon was deposited on a plain. Over many years, water eroded the plain creating a canyon later known as the Grand Canyon. The water kept weathering down the rocks until it came down to a lower level way below the top of the Grand Canyon. That is why today we have a higher and lower part of the Grand Canyon. Overall, the Grand Canyon started out as a plain and as many years passed water weathered down the rocks.

When a block of material moves down slope along a curved surface the type of mass movement is called what?
This is known as a circular slip or rotational landslide.
