sweet [91]3 years ago
4 0
Rotational slumping is a form of mass movement and occurs on coasts mainly. It involves a large area of land moving down a slope (obviously). Due to the nature of the slip, it leaves behind a curved surface. It’s very common on clay cliffs, during dry weather the clay contacts and cracks. When it rains, the water falls into the cracks and is absorbed until the rock is saturated. It weakens the rock and die to gravity, it slips down the slope on its slip plane.

miskamm [114]

Answer:

<em>Mantle convective current</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

The North American Plate is a tectonic plate that covers most of North America, Greenland, Cuba, the Bahamas, extreme northeastern Asia, and parts of Iceland and the Azores. It is Earth's second largest tectonic plate, behind the Pacific Plate. It is thought to be moved by the very slow creeping motion of Earth's solid silicate mantle caused by convection currents carrying heat from the interior to the planet's surface.
