What is one way to reduce the number of disasters related to mass movements?
dint build building on steep slopes
What is the atomic mass of lead?
Lead's atomic mass is 207.2 Its atomic number is 82
What is an example of a landslide?
do not construct buildings on steep slopes.
What mass movements are dependent on the addition of water?
Mudslides and landslides.
How many grams of lead are in 4.62 moles of lead?
Mole times Lead's Molecular mass(Mr) gives you its mass And I think the Mr of Lead is 207
What is one way to reduce the number of disasters related to mass movements?
dint build building on steep slopes
What are Some devastating results of faster mass movements?
Mass movement. Mass movement, also called Mass Wasting, bulk movements of soil and rock debris down slopes in response to the pull of gravity, or the rapid or gradual sinking of the Earth's ground surface in a predominantly vertical direction.
What is the force behind mass movements?
gravity.
How does water trigger mass movement?
among the factors that commonly triger mass movements are saturation of surface materials with water,oversteepening of slopes,removal of vegetation, and earthquakes.
What is soil slump?
This is one of the two types of mass wasting that you are likely to see evidence of on a regular basis (the other is soil creep). Soil slump is a common problem especially where slopes have been oversteepened or vegetation is disturbed on a hillside. Some soil slumps are large enough to cause significant property damage. Loss of life though is characteristically low, as this is not an especially fast type of movement.
Which does not usually trigger mass movement?
Growth of native vegetation on slopes
Three kinds of mass movements?
Landslides, mudflows, slump and creep
What is the term for mass movement of a group?
mass movement, also called Mass Wasting, bulk movements of soil and rock debris down slopes in response to the pull of gravity, or the rapid or gradual sinking of the Earth's ground surface in a predominantly vertical direction. Formerly, the term mass wasting referred to a variety of processes by which large masses of crustal materials are moved by gravity from one place to another.
What is the mass movements of surface water is called?
Mass movements of water are called currents. This is equally true for surface water or deeper water.
Is this true When warm and cold air masses meet the larger mass always slopes upwards over the smaller mass?
nope
Why are poverty stricken people unlikely recruits for mass movements?
People living on a day to day basis are a group unlikely to be recruited into mass movements for major changes in society. The goals of such people are to merely survive and any distractions such as mass movements, are a low priority.
Where are mass movements most common?
most common type of mass movement is "Landslide"
