Biology

Answer:

The Endangered Species Act was formulated in 1973. This Act was made in order to protect the threatened and endangered species of both plants and animals and also to protect the habitats in which these species live.

One of the major success was that there were many species which actually recovered from this act. For example, the population of the Kirtland's warbler increased from 210 to 1415 from 1973 to 2005.

One of the major controversies which arose from this act was that the critics claimed that this act failed to show major recovery of animals. Out of the total 2000 endangered species listed, only 28 species were properly recovered.

What factors that influence mass movement of particles
natka813 [3]

Mass movement, which is sometimes called <em>waste movement</em> or <em>slope movement, </em>is defined as the large movement of rock, soil and debris downward due to the force of gravity.

<h3>Factors affecting mass movement </h3>

1.  Slope  

    - Gravity provides the energy to move the materials.  

    - Rapid movements (e.g. landslide, slumping) etc.

2.  Water

     - Rainwater acts as a lubricant to weathered materials.  

     - Rainwater adds weight to weathered materials.  

3.   Rock structure  

     - Joints dipping downslope usually assists landslides, rockfalls, rockslide etc

4.  Vegetation  

     - Lack of vegetation cover to hold the loose particles.  

5.  Vibrations  

     - Earthquakes.  

     - Construction processes and mining operations.
