Mass movement that involves rock and soil moving as a single unit

Geography

vovangra [49]3 years ago

The correct answer is - landslide.

The landslides are mass movements that involve rocks, soil, debris, moving as a single unit. The movement is always from a higher part towards a lower part, from a hill or mountain towards a valley.

This mass movement appears either after heavy rainfall or earthquakes. When there's heavy rainfall, the water over-saturates the soil, thus it starts to move downwards, taking with it everything on it, including the rocks and the debris, as well as plants. The earthquakes, on the other hand, make the ground move with their vibrations, and once it can not withstand the pressure, it moves downwards with everything on it.

Hello:) I really need help with transform plate boundaries. I’ve read the examples in my textbook but it’s still confusing for m
Ganezh [65]
In Plate Tectonic Theory, the lithosphere is broken into tectonic plates, which undergo some large scale motions. The boundary regions between plates are aptly called plate boundaries. Based upon their motions with respect to one another, these plate boundaries are of three kinds: divergent, convergent, and transform.
