Rock avalanche. The correct answer is D.

Rock avalanche are form of mass movement in which transported material is dry rock and fragmented either before or during slope failure. They are deep seated rock-slope failures consisting of rapid breakup of the failed rock mass with high velocities and long run-outs.

<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

Rock avalanche are large landslides from rock slopes that travel farther than smaller event.  

It was first recognized in 19th century in Switzerland. It became known in Switzerland when the Elm and Goldau events killed people that are far away from the origin of the slide.

The Elm and Goldau events in Switzerland showed that rock avalanche has some characteristics: both events involve volumes of millions of cubic meters engaging large amount of energy and the travel distance both covered is very longer. Since these events, all rockslides relating to these peculiarities were categorized as rock avalanche, large rockslides or “sturzstorms”

Rock avalanche are very rare but then they are catastrophic events. It is more dangerous and deadly of all landslides events. In developing countries, rock avalanche causes high number of fatalities.    

However, landslide refers to the movement of a mass rock, debris down a slope. It is triggered by heavy earthquake, heavy rainfall and many others.

Solar, wind, and hydroelectric energy<br> are examples of<br> resources.
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Renewable Energy Resources.

Explanation:

Unlike fossil fuels which cannot be recovered when destroyed, these sources of energy can be recovered by a means of recycling . Recycling here reduces solid wastes which is one of the causes of land pollution.

Hydroelectric schemes can only be built in mountain regions where rainfall and rivers are plentiful which involves upset of aquatic ecosystem. This poses a dangerous pollution problem though.

Wind generators and solar panels are not very efficient energy producers. However, future schemes for producing solar energy via solar satellites are promising.

Papessa [141]

Answer:

Explanation:

So if there are lumen, there are class B skin. Therefore, with our connecting brain, we can infer that it's obvious what projection it makes. One like the monster effect, to us it is disturbed.

To summarize, they are packed tightly, within class B (known as dead-zone skin). In that, we have our shoebox. That shoebox tissue is known as shatire tissue.
