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.

taurus [48]
It represents the dominance.
<span>The dominance occurs when an allele (dominant) that is expressed in an organism’s phenotype, masks the effect of the recessive allele that is also present. In this case allele for brown coat color (F) is dominant to the allele for white coat color (f). When these two alleles are together (genotype is Ff) the brown color will be expressed as a phenotype.</span>

A man of unknown genotype has type B blood, his wife has type A blood (also unknown genotype). List ALL the blood types possible
shtirl [24]

Answer:

AB, aB, Ab

Explanation:

Man has blood type B so could be BB (homozygous dominant) or could be Bb (heterozygous)

Woman has blood type A, so she could be AA (heterozygous dominant) or Aa (heterozygous)

Now, we need to make a separate cross for woman with AA, man with BB and we get children of all AB

Then we can make another cross for genotypes Aa and BB, and we get AB and aB

We can continue this for AA,Bb and for Aa,Bb
