What is The difference between mass and density?
Mass = measure of the amount of matter within an object Density = mass per unit of volume Think of one pound of gold and one pound of aluminum, at sea level on earth. They contain the same mass, but the mass is more dense in the gold, because its volume is much smaller.
What is the layer of rock that comprises 67 of earths mass?
The mantle.
How does the rock cycle relate to conservatin of mass?
The laws of conservation of mass applies to the rock cycle because the rocks in the rock cycle relate to matter. The law of conservation of mass says mass cannot be created or deystroyed. The rock cycle shows how differrent liquids turn to gases and solids turn to liquids, etc. When each of them change to different forms their mass isn't more or less, because the matter in which made up the starting product doesn't gain or loose, it stays exactly the same.
What is a mass of rock and soil deposited directly from a glacier called?
A till.
What are the types and descriptions of mass movements?
Mass wasting is considered by geologists as the movement of dirt, rock, sediment, and landscape downhill. Landslides, slump, creep, rock falls, debris falls, rock slides, mudslides, mudflows, lahar, avalanche, and debris flows are all types of mass wasting. Also, any kind of erosion (mechanical/chemical) moving sediment downhill.
