Loose material produced by weathering or erosion is known as:
Granite
Precipitation
Regolith
Landslide
Tick each of the following factors that effect mass movement (HINT: More than one answer!)
Gravity
Water content
Vegetation
Animals
Human Activity
The force that attracts everything towards the centre of the earth is known as
Confluence
Precipitation
Gravity
Contour lines
Which of the following words, could be used to describe gradient?
Regolith
Gravity
Soil creep
Steepness
Which of the following types of mass movement are slow?
Bogburst
Avalanche
Lahar
Soil creep
Which of the following are evidence that soil creep is taking place? (HINT: More than one answer!)
Terracettes
Regolith
Curved tree trunks
Slanted telegraph poles
Accumulations of snow
Lahars are different to other types of mass movement because:
They only happen in winter.
They involve volcanic activity.
They cannot be controlled by humans.
They are caused by human activity.
The rapid movement of regolith down a steep slope that has become unstable is known as a:
Landslide
Mudslide
Bogburst
Avalanche
Lahar
Why are avalanches sometimes triggered by humans?
To create a spectacle to attract humans.
To remove accumulations of snow in a controlled and relatively safe way.
To scare away large animals.
To take nice photos of the avalanche.
Define mass movement.
Rapid movement of regolith
Movement of regolith downslope due to gravity
Movement of soil downslope due to gravity
Movement of anything downslope due to gravity
