Weathering breaks down rocks into smaller particles, making them more susceptible to mass wasting processes such as landslides, rockfalls, and soil creep. Weathering weakens the integrity of rocks, increasing the likelihood of mass wasting events occurring.
Weathering can weaken the stability of rocks and soil, making them more susceptible to mass wasting processes such as landslides and rockfalls. Water, in particular, can increase the weight and lubricate the material, leading to increased risk of mass wasting. Additionally, freeze-thaw cycles and vegetation removal can also contribute to making slopes more prone to mass wasting.
Mass wasting and physical weathering usually require water as the presence of water can increase the likelihood of slope failure and mechanical breakdown of rocks. Chemical weathering can also be facilitated by water as it helps dissolve minerals and facilitate chemical reactions that break down rocks.
Mass wasting is the term used to describe the process of the transfer of rock material down slope under the influence of gravity. There are various terms used to describe how these materials move when a mass wasting event is happening, include flow and slide.
Rock materials are moved across the Earth's surface primarily by processes such as erosion, weathering, and mass wasting. Erosion, caused by water, wind, or ice, wears down rock and transports it to new locations. Weathering breaks down rocks into smaller pieces, while mass wasting involves the movement of larger chunks downhill due to gravity.
When gravity causes erosion, it is called mass wasting. This process occurs when the force of gravity acts on rocks and soil, causing them to move downhill due to factors such as steep slopes, weathering, and unconsolidated materials. Mass wasting can result in various landforms such as landslides, rockfalls, and slumps.
uhhh i think its weathering??

landslide is a type of mass wasting
mass wasting is in the form of landslides,etc. when the soil moves down which is due to deforestation weathering is the breaking up of rocks due to natural agents which takes place for a long time
Because in desert is where factors that contribute to mass wasting are commonly found.eg powerfull winds, physicals weathering etc
through erosion and mass wasting
uhhh i think its weathering??
Weathering and mass wasting/movement.
mass wasting is the down slope movement of rock and soil under the direct influence of gravity.mass wasting is the step that follows weathering in the evolution of most landforms.
Acid rain causes more mass wasting when people pollute the enviroment and when they smoke make too much use of ciggarete
