3 0

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.

There are so many microbes in a single mL of culture, it is very difficult to perform one dilution to produce countable cells. M
Feliz [49]

Answer:

cumulative dilution = 0.000001

Explanation:

A serial dilution is a stepwise kind of dilution repeated a certain number of times, in which the concentration reduces exponentially each time.

The cumulative dilution is the final dilution gotten depending on the number of times dilution has been done and the dilution factor. The formula is given as:

Cumulative dilution = (F)ⁿ

where:

F = dilution factor = 0.1

n = number of serial dilutions = 6

∴ cumulative dilution = (0.1)⁶ = 0.000001
