The high pressure in the Great Basin forces it way toward the lower pressure on the coast usually during the winter months. As the air sinks, it heats up, loses moisture, and increases in speed as it forces its way through the canyons. So, hot intense winds are the result. This also contributes to the forest fires in the area.

Answer:
A. is a gravity-driven downslope movement of natural materials.
Explanation:
Mass movement -
It is also called , the slope movement , mass wasting .
it is a process , by which , the sand , rock , soil , regolith move towards downslope by the force of gravity .
It includes , slides , falls , topples , creep .
Mass movement is observed in planets other than Earth , like the Mars , Jupiter , Venus .
Hence , from the given option , the correct option for the definition of Mass movement is ( A ) .
When two oceanic plates collide, the younger of the two plates (because it is less dense)* will ride over the edge of the older plate. *(Oceanic plates grow more dense as they cool or move further away from the Mid-Ocean Ridge). The older, heavier plate bends and plunges steeply through the athenosphere, and descending into the earth, ir forms a trench that can be as much as 70 miles wide, more than a thousands miles long, and several miles deep.
