If you subtract the atomic number from the weight, what is the interpretation of the answer? (e.g. 14-7=7; Think of a subatomic
viva [34]
If we subtract the atomic number from the weight, we get the number of neutrons in the particle. This is because protons and neutrons each have a weight of 1, while electrons are 0. And since the atomic number is also the number of protons in the atom, subtracting it from total weight gives us the number iif neutrons.

Put the last 6 (Creep to Avalanche) in order from Fastest to Slowest.
kompoz [17]

Answer:

creep, solifluction, slump, earthflow, mudflow, debris avalanche, rockfall

Explanation:

Mass movement also known mass wasting is the motion of rock,  regolith (loose mixture of soil and rock particles that covers the earth's surface), snow, and ice down a slope. Based on increasing speed of movement, the given mass movement processes are as follows:

Creep- this a very slow, usually continuous movement of regolith down slope.

Solifluction - this is a sediment flow. A sediment flow is a mixture of rock, regolith with some water. The rate solifluction is measured in centimeters per year. It occurs at a faster rate than than creep.

Slumps - is a type of mass movement whereby there is a downward rotation of rock or regolith along a curved surface producing depressions or scars on the slope. It occurs at a faster rate than solifluction.

Earthflows - they usually occur with heavy rains and occur at a much faster rate with velocities between several centimeters per year and hundreds of meters per day.

Mudflows- are a highly fluid mixture of sediment and water which usually result from heavy rains in areas where there is an abundance of loose sediment. These sediments are picked up by flowing streams of water. Mudflows occur at high velocities and can travel long distances.

Debris Avalanches - These are very high velocity mass movements that result from the complete collapse of a mountainous slope. Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions usually cause debris avalanches. Avalanches involving snow only is known as snow avalanches.

Rock Falls - Rock falls occur when a piece of rock which may be large or small on a steep slope comes loose and falls down the slope. On its way down it may dislodge other rocks which also fall down the slope. Rock falls are the fastest of the six types of mass movements stated.

When wind slows down, it deposits sediment. What feature is created by the deposition of loosely packed, mineral-rich soil?
tamaranim1 [39]

The feature that is created by deposition of the loosely packed and mineral-rich soil is Loess.

Loess is a loosely packed soil deposition due to blown wind of sediment rocks. The geography of loess is in between soil and clay. It is finer in texture than soil but has the coarse structure than the clay. This loess contains certain clay portions in order to hold the soil particles properly.

It can be mostly seen in Great Plains of North America, northern china, and other places around the world.
