Why can rock avalanches move downslope at speeds exceeding 200 km/hr (125 mi/hr)?

Rock avalanches move downslope at speeds exceeding 200 km/hr (125 mi/hr) because when the soil expands and compresses, it lifts certain particles and drops them downslope a short distance.

Landslides are the common name for soil or rock avalanches. The most frequent type of avalanche, snowslides, can travel downhill more quickly than a skier. When an unstable snow mass detaches from a slope, a snow avalanche starts.

Rock avalanches are caused by the rapid breakup of initially intact, highly fast-moving rock masses during transportation. In mountainous areas, rock avalanches, which are unexpected rock slope failures marked by high velocities, lengthy runouts, and massive volumes, are among the most deadly and costly geological hazards.

Of the planets with atmospheres, which is the warmest?<br> a. Venusb. Earthc. Marsd. Jupiter
tangare [24]

The Atmosphere in Jupiter is full of gases that move at high speeds in giant eddies. Its atmosphere consists mostly of gases such as hydrogen that generate a temperature fluctuation of around 128K.

On Earth, due to the protection of the Ozone Layer and the presence of Nitrogen and Oxygen, the temperature fluctuates by an average of 300K.

In the case of Mars, its atmosphere is thin, mostly composed of Carbon Dioxide and Diatomic Nitrogen, which allow a temperature oscillation of 210K.

In contrast, the atmosphere of Venus is thick and is composed of carbon dioxide that does not allow the sun's rays to escape, generating an extreme 'greenhouse effect' with temperatures ranging from 737K,

Correct Answer is A.
