What are Volcanoes and erosion and Weathering and Mass wasting or mass movement?

If you are asking the meanings of these words, I believe this is your answer:
- Volcano: a feature caused by extrusive igneous action, which may have originally been a mountain. The volcano erupts igneous material, including pyroclastic material, ash, bombs and, of course, lava
- Erosion: the wearing away and taking away of rocks
- Weathering: the wearing away of rocks in situ
- Mass movement: the movement of a large amount of material down a slope. This comes in the form of landslides mostly, but includes other similar phenomenons. This may occur quickly as a landslide, of may just be land creeping slowly downhill
I hope this answers your question.

What is the name of disintegration and dissolving of surface and subsurface rock erosion mass wasting land mass denudation weathering?
Weathering is the process in which materials are broken down either chemically or physically. Weathering and erosion are commonly confused. However, erosion is the transport of material that has been previously eroded. Therefore, the answer is weathering.
What force and what cause can contribute to both erosion and mass wasting?
gravity and movement
What is downward rapid movement of rocks resulting in mass wasting?
uhhh i think its weathering??
How does a rock change into sedimentary rock?
A sedimentary rock changes into a metamorphic rock when there is heat, pressure, and time. -over a long period of time
What is the main difference between erosion and mass wasting?
the difference is that erosion is a process in which weathered particles are pick up and move from one place to another and mass wasting is the downhill movement of loose rock or soil.
What are the problems of soft rock?
They are prone to virtually any form of erosion, weathering and mass movement/wasting.
Which process mass wasting erosion physical weathering or chemical weathering usually requires water?
chemical weathering
What is the evidence that the rock cycle is happening?
The existence of denudational processes such as weathering, erosion, transportations and deposition. And also the activities of mass wasting/movement, rock deformation and faulting.
How does weathering effect Bruce Peninsula National park?
through erosion and mass wasting
What 3 processes act together to wear down and build up earths surface?
Uplift replaces rocks on Earth's surface lost the process of erosion.
How is Earth's surface is worn down?
denudation forces including mass wasting, weathering, and erosion
