How are landslides different from mudfows?

A landslide consists of a mass of soil or rock moving as a single solid mass, with a definite plain of failure and relatively little deformation within the moving mass itself. A mudflow behaves as a fluid. There is no definite plane of failure and there is significant deforemation within the moving mass.


What is the unit and tool of a mass of rock?

The unit of mass of a rock is typically measured in kilograms (kg) or grams (g). A common tool to measure the mass of a rock is a balance scale or a digital scale.


What is the sudden movement of a rock masses as a result of tech tonic earthquakes?

The sudden movement in rock mass causes earthquakes. This is when the rock mass comes together and collapses.


If a rock measures 350 grams on a pan balance what is its mass?

350 g. Grams is simply a unit of mass. A similar question would be- i have a piece of string that is 2 inches long. What is its length?


How do you measure the mass of a rock?

Measuring the Mass of a Rock You use a scale to weigh the rock, next you put a certain amount of water in a container, next you add the rock to the water and subtract the current water level from the original water level, the weight of the rock divided by the amount of water it displaced is the mass. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The mass of a rock sample is measured placing the sample on an adequate balance ! The unit of mass in SI is the kilogram (kg) and the derived unit for density is kg/m3 (g/cm3 is also accepted). Do not confuse mass with weight.

Does a 2kg rock have twice the mass of a 1kg rock?

Yes. Kilogram is the unit of mass.


When a rock is placed in a container full of water it displaces 250ml of water The mass of the rock is 5.63 times the mass of the water what is the volume and mass of the rock?

The volume of the rock is the amount of water it displaces, 250ml. Considering that 1ml of water has a mass of 1 mg, the mass of the rock is 5.63 x 250gm = 1,407.5mg.


What is the mass of the rock?

It depends on the size of the rock.


What has more mass a rock with a volume of 1ml or a rock with a volume of 4ml?

The rock with a volume of 4ml has more mass, assuming all other factors are the same. Mass is directly proportional to volume, so a rock with a larger volume will have more mass.

What tool do you use to find the mass of a rock?

You can use a balance or scale to find the mass of a rock. Place the rock on the balance or scale and record the reading to determine its mass.
