Put the last 6 (Creep to Avalanche) in order from Fastest to Slowest.

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.

consider other shapes for a cell besides a cube? what cell shape might increase . surface area and decrease the volume explain
Vaselesa [24]
Answer - Well to put it in short terms. 

Cells such as water cells or aquatic microorganisms need and required to have a large surface area increased. Because this helps them stay afloat without spending much amount of energy to float.

Fly species w, found in a certain part of the island, produces fertile offspring with species y. species w does not produce fert
34kurt
Considering the answers;
A. are still sibling species
B. shared a common ancestor more recently with each other than either did with the other two species
C.May merge into a single species if their hybrids remain fertile over the course of many generations.
D. A and B only
E. A, B, and C
The answer will be E. 
If no other species can hybridize, then species W and Y are still sibling species, shared a common ancestor more recently with each other than either did with the other two species and also may merge into a single species if their hybrids remain fertile over the course of many generations.

Explain how the terms oxidation and reduction apply even when there is only a partial shift of electrons between atoms linked by
aliina [53]

Explanation:

In a covalent bond, there is sharing of the donated electron by two atomic species having very small electronegative differences between them.

Oxidation is the loss of electrons by a specie and it usually lead to an increase in oxidation number.

Reduction is the gain of electrons by a specie. It leads to a lower oxidation number.

Since there is no actual loss of gain of electrons in a covalent body, the electronegativiy is at work.

Electronegativity is the ability of a specie to draw the shared electrons more to itself in a covalent bond.

  • Between two atoms bonded covalently, the more electronegative specie draws the electrons closer.
  • This leaves a partial negative charge on it.
  • The other electron then becomes partially positively charged.
  • We can then say, the more electronegative specie undergoes reduction.
  • The less electronegative one undergoes oxidation.

What must a substance be able to do in order to be used as an acid base indicator
erastovalidia [21]

The substance must be able to alter its physical characteristic (for example, its color) in accordance to a change in pH. One example of this is litmus paper, which becomes red under acidic conditions and blue under basic conditions.
