a/n _______ is a type of mass movement that occurs when a thin block of soil, rock, and debris separates from the underlying bedrock. weegy
Type of mass movement that involves the detachment and movement of a small block of rock from a cliff face to its base. Normally occurs when the rock has well defined bedding planes that are exaggerated by freeze-thaw action or thermal expansion and contraction. Avalanche. Alaska and Hawaii also experience all types of landslides. Landslides in the United States cause approximately $3.5 billion (year 2001 dollars) in damage, and kill between 25 and 50 people annually. Casualties in the United States are primarily caused by rockfalls, rock slides, and debris flows. a rapid, downslope movement of earth materials that occurs when a relatively thin block of loose soil, rock and debris separates from the underlying bedrock. rock slide. a type of landslide that occurs when a sheet of rock moves downhill along a sliding surface. slump. A/n _______ is a type of mass movement that occurs when a thin block of soil, rock, and debris separates from the underlying bedrock. Calcareous - sediment, sedimentary rock, or soil type which is formed from or contains a high proportion of calcium carbonate in the form of calcite or aragonite. Calcite - The crystalline form of calcium carbonate, showing trigonal symmetry and a great variety of mineral habits. A Landslide is a type of mass movement that occurs when a thin block of soil, rock, and debris separates from the underlying bedrock. Actually, this thin block of soil and rocks were held by Tree's roots so it do not separated from the bedrock. A/an __ is a type of mass movement that occurs when a thin block of soil, rock, and debris separates from the underlying bedrock? A) creep B) Landslide C)Flow D) Eruption. A rapid downslope movement of Earth materials that occurs when a relatively thin block of soil, rock, and debris separates from the underlying bedrock. Slump. A mass of material in a landslide that moves along a curved surface. FLOWS: There are five basic categories of flows that differ from one another in fundamental ways. a. Debris flow: A debris flow is a form of rapid mass movement in which a combination of loose soil, rock, organic matter, air, and water mobilize as a slurry that flows downslope (fig. 3F). Calculate the volume of 2 moles of an ideal gas at 2 ATM pressure and 500 K. (Given the formula PV=nRT, P is pressure, V is volume, n is number of moles, T is temperature and R is gas constant...
