Gravity causes mass movement. Types of mass movement: landslides, mudslides, slump, and creep. The most destructive kind of mass movement is a landslide, which occurs when rock and soil slide quickly down a steep slope.
Answer:
b) the Pacific plate has carried the volcanoes away from the hot spot that formed them
Explanation:
The Hawaiian islands all have volcanic origin. Some are not active, while some still are. All of these islands have been active volcanoes at one point of time, and they have been created by a hot spot that lies beneath the Pacific plate. The hot spot has such a power that it actually manages to break through the central part of the plate where its crust is the strongest and densest. As the magma manages to come out above the water, it manages to create volcanic islands. The Pacific plate though is moving, it is not static, so it drags the volcanic islands away from the hot spot, causing their extinguishing. As those islands are moved away, the hot spot creates new volcanic islands, and the process constantly continuous, resulting in a volcanic island chain.
The sun hits bodies of water (ponds, oceans, pools, puddles) and it evaporates into a gas known as water vapor which goes up and forms a cloud. When the cloud gets heavy the water condensates back into little droplets and falls back to the ground. This is rain.

Explanation:
Oldest to youngest- D, A, E, B, C
It's called relative dating, you basically find the rocks that are at the very bottom (oldest), look for the ones that are on the top (younger), but if you find any that are cross cutting, those are the youngest of them all.
