What else can I help you with?
What is the movement of rocks pebbles and sand from landforms?
Erosion.
Both erosion and weathering can be observed by?
watching for movement in rocks.
Downhill movement of large masses of soil or rock under the influence of gravity?
The answer is erosion. This includes the chemical and solution break up of rocks, and their transport to another place. Aerial erosion is the process of moving sand and dusts by wind. Fluvial erosion is the same process but carried out by water, and this can move much larger particles. And the coasts are subject to erosion by the waves and the salt.
What is the force causes mass movement?
gravity
What causes all types of rocks to be exposed to weathering and erosion?
Uplift caused by tectonic movement
What is the agent of erosion for mass movement?
Gravity is the main agent of erosion for mass movement. It pulls rock and sediment downslope, causing mass wasting processes like landslides, rockfalls, and slumps.
What agent of erosion is mass movement?
Mass movement is an agent of erosion that involves the downhill movement of rock, soil, and debris due to gravity. It includes processes such as landslides, rockfalls, and slumps, which can occur when the force of gravity overcomes the strength of the material holding the slope together, leading to erosion.
What is the Movement of fragments of rock?
The movement of rock fragments is called erosion.
What is another name for mass movement?
Mass movement is also known as mass wasting or slope movement, referring to the downslope movement of rock, soil, and debris under the force of gravity.
What force and what can contribute to both erosion and mass wasting?
gravity and movement
What force and what cause contributes to erosion and mass wasting?
gravity and movement
What force and what cause can contribute to both erosion and mass wasting?
gravity and movement
What force and cause can contribute to both erosion and mass wasting?
gravity and movement
What the shape of the surface of the land?
Water, Wind, Wave, and Glacier Erosion as well as Mass Movement (or Erosion, Deposition, and Weathering)
What is erosion called mass movement is caused by?
Erosion called mass movement is caused by gravity pulling material downslope. This can include processes like landslides, slumps, and rockfalls where a mass of rock, soil, or debris moves downward due to gravity's force.
How does mass movement affect people?
The productive capacity of the soils people use is likely to be affected by mass movement erosion.
What are all the forms of erosion?
All forms of erosion are weathering, mass movement, I am not positive if deposition is one of them. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong. If I am wrong I apologize in advance. ;)
