What factors that influence mass movement of particles

Biology
1 answer:
natka813 [3]3 years ago
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.

Explain how artificial erosion is a problem even though erosion occurs naturally.
Deffense [45]

Explanation:

Explain how artificial erosion is a problem even though erosion occurs naturally. Even though erosion happens naturally, erosion caused by human action is a concern. ... Artificial erosion, however, occurs 10 to 15 times more rapidly than natural erosion. This makes it difficult for ecosystems to adjust to the changes.

frosja888 [35]
Fur plays an important role in conservation of heat. smaller animals have larger surface area to volume ratio as a result of their size. consequently they are prone to losing more heat to the environment. on the other hand, bigger animals have smaller surface area to volume ratio and as a result, they lose little heat to the surroundings. in this scenario it is impossible for gorilla size of Kong to have fur because they lose less heat to environment so no need to conserve heat using fur.

Will cell theory ever become the law of cells?
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
Cell theory will never become a law of cell. This is because theory and law are two different things and one can not develop and become the other.
When a scientist observe a phenomenon to which he did not have an answer, he will formulate an hypothesis about the observation and set out to conduct an experiment to confirm his hypothesis. If his hypothesis is confirmed, then the hypothesis become a theory, especially after it has been confirmed by other scientists too.
But a law refers to a natural phenomenon which have been observed to occur in the same fashion, for a very long period of time. For instance, the gravity force will always force an object throw up to come down. That observation is part of the Newton's law of motion.<span />
