Water, H₂O, will have the highest melting point.

Explanation:

So here we have listed the hydrides of oxygen, sulphur, selenium and tellurium.

From this elements oxygen have the highest electronegativity and as a consequence the oxigen hydride (water, hydrogen dioxide) it is able to form hydrogen bonds between molecules. So you need more energy to overcome the interactions between molecules in water that for the other compounds.

Water, H₂O, will have the highest melting point between the listed hydrides.

What occurs during a slump?
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

A slump is a form of mass wasting that occurs when a coherent mass of loosely consolidated materials or a rock layer moves a short distance down a slope.[1] Movement is characterized by sliding along a concave-upward or planar surface. Causes of slumping include earthquake shocks, thorough wetting, freezing and thawing, undercutting, and loading of a slope.
