Some of the types of mass movement and triggers :
Flows :
Volcanic Eruption -- Lahars from volcanic ash and debris in rivers
Heavy Rains -- Loose soil slides down a rock slope
Liquefaction -- earthquake shakes fine layer of underground silt, ground slides away
Landslides :
Undercutting -- erosion by streams or ground water
Loose Rocks -- earthquake starts dirt and boulders rolling down a hill
Creep :
Subsiding -- Soil held by plants slowly inches its way down a steep slope
Slump :
Ocean erosion -- Undercut sea cliffs can shear off as a block and slide downward

In what ways can sediment enter a river?
mass movement and gravity
Describe two ways the relative humidity of an air mass can change?
A change in temperature would most likely do that.
Describe two ways that buildings are reinforced against earthquakes?
by using active tendon systems and mass dampers.
Describe two ways in which the movement of lithospheric plates can result in the formation of mountains?
When two lithosphere plates collide they crumple and push up, forming mountains also causing earthquakes.
Four ways sediment can form?
sediment was formed by weathering and erosion in a source area, and then transported to the place of deposition by water, wind, mass movement or glaciers which are called agents of denudation.
The main ways sediment enters a river are mass movement and?
Runoff
In what ways can sediment enter a river?
mass movement and gravity
Describe two ways gravity can affect the movement of a wheel and axle in a bicycle?
it can affect the movement that pull the whell and the weight
Describe the movement of goods from the port of Marseilles to London in two ways?
the state of Delaware
How are inertia and momentum related?
More or less the same thing. Different ways to describe similar effects of movement and resistance.
How would you describe the two ways cumulative risks occur?
Occur by the increase of effect of one risk or of each added risk
Which can occur in a physical change?
The mass can increase. The particles can arrange in different ways. The mass can decrease. The atoms can bond to different atoms.
When reffering to molecular transport does movement occur across the cell membrane?
yes, it can occur in various ways. (active transport, simple diffusion,etc.)
What are the ways to describe?
Movement, flexibility, joints, muscles If you think about it it all means motion Muscles help you move and so do joints. Flexibility is also important and movement is movement. Yours Truthfully Anonymous
