Rockfall.
The type of mass movement that occurs when rock fragments or rocks fall freely through the air is called rockfall. It typically happens in steep, rocky areas due to gravitational forces, weathering, or seismic activity. Rockfalls can be dangerous and cause injury or property damage.
The downward rapid movement of rocks resulting in mass wasting is called rockfall. It occurs when rocks or rock fragments fall freely through the air due to the force of gravity.
The movement of rock fragments is called erosion.
When rocks or rock fragments fall freely from the air, they can create an impact force upon hitting the ground that can cause damage to property or injure individuals. Depending on the size and speed of the falling rocks, they can also trigger landslides or other geological hazards in the area where they land.
A fracture in rock along which movement occurs is called a fault. faults are caused by stress in the Earth's crust, and can result in earthquakes when the stored energy is released through movement along the fault plane.

When rock fragments fall freely through the air, they experience acceleration due to gravity and air resistance. As they fall, they may break into smaller pieces due to impact with each other or the ground, ultimately becoming sediment or debris. This process is known as erosion.
The movement of rock fragments is called erosion.
When rocks and rock fragments fall freely through the air, they experience a process known as free fall, where they accelerate downwards due to gravity. As they descend, they may encounter air resistance, which can slow their fall depending on their size and shape. Upon reaching the ground, the impact can cause fragmentation, create craters, or contribute to erosion and sediment deposition. This process is a key element in rock weathering and landscape shaping.

Ossified fragments are fragments of bone that have turned into solid tissue through the process of calcification. This occurs when bone or cartilage undergoes a process of ossification, becoming hardened and less flexible. Ossified fragments can be a result of injury, trauma, or disease.
Convection occurs when heat is transferred into an object through motion or movement; an example would be boiling water.
The continuous flow of electrons is known as an electric current. This flow typically occurs through a closed circuit, such as in electrical wiring, where electrons can move freely from one point to another, creating the movement of electric charge.
Agarose gel electrophoresis separates DNA fragments based on their size by using an electric current to move the fragments through a gel made of agarose, a substance derived from seaweed. Smaller DNA fragments move faster through the gel, while larger fragments move more slowly. This separation occurs because the gel acts as a sieve, with smaller fragments able to navigate through the pores more easily than larger fragments. As a result, the DNA fragments are separated into distinct bands based on their size when viewed under ultraviolet light.
