mass movement
The traveling of a mass of material downslope is called mass wasting or mass movement. It refers to the movement of rocks, soil, and debris due to the force of gravity.
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.
Creep and solifluction are examples of slow mass movement processes. Creep is the slow, continuous movement of soil and rock downhill, while solifluction is the slow movement of thawed soil over frozen ground in areas with permafrost.
No, slump is not an example of mass movement. Slump is a type of soil movement that involves the downward sliding of a mass of rock or soil along a curved surface. Mass movements usually involve the downslope movement of material under the influence of gravity, such as landslides and rockfalls.
Yes, gradient is an important factor in mass movement as it influences the speed and type of movement. Steeper gradients can increase the likelihood of mass movement events such as landslides, while gentler gradients may still allow movement but at a slower pace. Understanding gradient helps assess the risk of mass movement in a particular area.
"The vast majority of an aom's mass is in the nucleus." "The political movement grew from a nucleus of his avid supporters."
A mass movement is caused by Gravity.
A slump mass movement is typically faster than a creep mass movement. Slump movement involves a more sudden and rapid downslope movement of material, often in a rotational manner, whereas creep movement involves a slower, more gradual flow of material over time.

The mass movement of a group of people out of a country is an exodus.
lahar is the term for mass movement that is volcanic in origin

Mass movement affects humans because it can destroy their homes and neighborhoods. =)

Mass movement is caused by gravity. (: also occurs when tectonic plates shift
Gravity causes all the types of mass movement. :P
