Question

Mass wasting occurs when____.

1. sediment moves to a lower elevation, while rock moves to a higher elevation
2. sediment and rock moves from a lower elevation to a higher elevation
3. sediment moves to a higher elevation, while rock moves to a lower elevation
4. sediment and rock moves from a higher elevation to a lower elevation

Answer 1

The correct answer is 4. sediment and rock moves from a higher elevation to a lower elevation

Answer 2

Answer;

4. sediment and rock moves from a higher elevation to a lower elevation

Mass wasting occurs when sediment and rock moves from a higher elevation to a lower elevation.

Explanation;

-Mass wasting is also called slope movement or mass movement. It involves the large movement of rock, soil and debris downward due to the force of gravity. During the process sand, soil, and rocks move down slope as a solid, continuous or discontinuous due to the force of gravity. It may be caused increased slope steepness, increased water, decreased vegetation and earthquakes
