Answer:

Mass wasting may be explained as the movement of loose, unconsilidatwd, soil or earth materials down a slope. Two major forces which controls the level or degree of mass wastibg is frictional and Gravitational forces. Frictional forces oppose movement of materials down slope while Gravitational force aids the movement of materials. The midpoint of these tow forces is marked by the ANGLE OF REPOSE, which is the maximum slope angle these loose materials can maintain. At greater angles, slope is steeper and gravity wins, while at more gentle slope angles. Friction wins.

Which of the following terms describes days when the sun's rays directly hit the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn?
marta [7]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>c. Solstice</u> describes days when sun's rays directly hit Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The solstices occur due to the declination of the Earth's orbital movement around the sun. During this declination, the axial tilt is 23.5°. Furthermore, solstice's occurrence is during time the sun's direction is overhead the moon.

In Northern hemisphere, the declination is towards Tropic of Cancer with the axial tilt of 23.5°N. It occurs on June 20 & 22 while in the south the normal period of occurrence is between December 20 and December 23. In the south, the solar declination hits Tropic of Capricorn at 23.5°S.
