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.

What organic molecules are in chicken
spin [16.1K]

<u>Answer</u>:

Organic molecules present  in chicken are Nucleic acid, proteins, carbohydrate and lipids .

<u>Explanation</u>:

Chicken itself has the all four organic molecules in it. Organic molecules are those having carbon in it. They are attached by covalent bonds, in which electrons are being shared within the atoms. The nucleic acids are DNA and RNA which helps in the making of the proteins which are found in the various structure and ought to perform various metabolic functions. Proteins are the building block of the amino acids. Lipids found are the fat bodies, burning of lipids gives us energy.

do the allele symbols on the outside of the punnett square you drew in part (b) represent alleles in gametes or in body cells? e
kherson [118]

The allele symbols on the outside of the punnett square represent the alleles in the gametes . Because when we done cross we got the gametes only . Example AABB  X aabb , then we got the gametes  AB and ab .  This represent  AB and ab are the alles of the gamete only . A allele is the alternative form of gene , if one is dominant other one is recessive.
