Answer:

creep, solifluction, slump, earthflow, mudflow, debris avalanche, rockfall

Explanation:

Mass movement also known mass wasting is the motion of rock,  regolith (loose mixture of soil and rock particles that covers the earth's surface), snow, and ice down a slope. Based on increasing speed of movement, the given mass movement processes are as follows:

Creep- this a very slow, usually continuous movement of regolith down slope.

Solifluction - this is a sediment flow. A sediment flow is a mixture of rock, regolith with some water. The rate solifluction is measured in centimeters per year. It occurs at a faster rate than than creep.

Slumps - is a type of mass movement whereby there is a downward rotation of rock or regolith along a curved surface producing depressions or scars on the slope. It occurs at a faster rate than solifluction.

Earthflows - they usually occur with heavy rains and occur at a much faster rate with velocities between several centimeters per year and hundreds of meters per day.

Mudflows- are a highly fluid mixture of sediment and water which usually result from heavy rains in areas where there is an abundance of loose sediment. These sediments are picked up by flowing streams of water. Mudflows occur at high velocities and can travel long distances.

Debris Avalanches - These are very high velocity mass movements that result from the complete collapse of a mountainous slope. Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions usually cause debris avalanches. Avalanches involving snow only is known as snow avalanches.

Rock Falls - Rock falls occur when a piece of rock which may be large or small on a steep slope comes loose and falls down the slope. On its way down it may dislodge other rocks which also fall down the slope. Rock falls are the fastest of the six types of mass movements stated.

_____is an interaction between species that affects both species negatively (-/-), as they utilize similar resources.
jolli1 [7]

An interaction between species that affects both species negatively (-/-) , as they utilize similar resources is called as Competition .

Competition :

Competition is a process in which the fitness of individual of one species is significantly lower than that of the individual of same or different species.

Types of competition :

For the necessities of life , it is divided into two types .they are as follows,

A) interspecific competition : it is a competition which occurs between the individuals of two different species having some requirements of life , e.g.,carnivorous animals such as tiger ,lion ,leopard etc .compete for the prey . in the forest habitat ,herbs and trees compete for sunlight , water space , minerals , and biological pollinators .

If the individuals of two different species have sme one or more requirement the the competition becomes very severe e.g., grassland is the common habitat for bison ,dear rabbits ,rats grasshoppers , etc .if thee is short supply of grass due to draught then the competition becomes severe

The survival of the consumers is determined by the quantity of grass required by each species ,ability to change the food and its capacity to migrate to new localities.

B) Intraspecific competition : it occurs between the individuals of the same species .this type of competition is very severe as all the individuals of the same species have almost common requirement of food ,habit etc .besides they also exhibits similar adaptations to fulfill their requirements ,e.g., animals of same species compete for water ,food and mates .

Intraspecific competition is the driving force behind evolution and natural selection .

Thus the Competition only negative impact on environment.

If there are 10 chromosomes in a particular cell at the start of prophase how many will be present in the same cell at the end o
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

20 chromosomes

Explanation:

Mitosis is a kind of cell division that results in daughter cells with same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. It involves stages including Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase and Telophase. In prophase, the Chromatin condenses into Chromosomes.

In Anaphase stage, the 10 chromosomes as mentioned in the question divides into opposite poles of the cell. One individual chromosome contains two sister chromatids, which actually separates in the Anaphase stage. Hence, at the end of the Anaphase stage, there will be 10 chromatids each at opposite poles of the cell. Each chromatid at this stage is considered a chromosome.

Hence, a cell with 10 chromosomes will contain 20 chromosomes (10+10 chromatids on each pole) in the Anaphase stage just before the cell divides into two in a process called CYTOKINESIS.
