Answer:

Landslide is a mass movement that involves rock and soil moving as a single unit.

Explanation:

Mass movement is every movement of a massive scale that occurs on the Earth's surface. There are several types of mass movements, such as creep, landslide, mudflow, and slump. They all have their own characteristics, mostly involving what causes the movement and what kind of material is moving.

The landslides are a type of mass movement that involves rock and soil moving as a single unit. This type of mass movement occurs because of the gravitational pull of Earth. This can not happen everywhere though, but only at places where the rock and soil and not very stable and are located at a steep slope. Over time, the weight of the rock and soil is too much for the bedrock to support it, so it slides down, causing an enormous amount of rock and soil to move in an instant and often to cause huge damage or loss of human lives.

Arrange the layers in order from oldest to youngest.
Verizon [17]

From oldest to youngest: I, B, F, M, R, H.

Explanation:

On the picture we can see several layers of rock. Some of the layers have not been disturbed, so the principle of superposition can be applied to them. Some of the layer though have been disturbed by geological processes, so the layers are not at the same level because of it. On top of it, there is also an intrusion that has managed to further cause disturbance through all of the layers.

  • The layer I is the oldest, and it is the basis of the others.
  • Layer B has formed next, and after that layer F.
  • These three layers have been influenced by the formation of fault, where one of their sides has been moving up relative to the other, while the other has been moving down relative to the other.
  • Layer M is younger layer, and it can easily be seen as it totally covers the layer F below it.
  • On top is layer R, which is the youngest of them all (the layers), and the one that comes out on the surface.
  • Layer H is not really a layer, but it is an intrusion, which has formed after magma managed to cut through all the layers and later solidify. It is the youngest formation.

Oligarchy: A group of a few people rule a country.
Monarchy: A king or queen rules a country.
Constitutional Monarchy: A king or queen rules the country but has limited powers from a constitution.
Dictatorship: One person is in absolute complete power.
