When a block of material moves downslope along a curved surface, the type of mass movement is _____.
No but a cone has a curved surface
i think its curved
Adhesion is the property of water causes the curved surface
A sphere has one surface that's also curved and has no base.
One if it is solid, two if it is hollow
When a block of material moves downslope along a curved surface, the type of mass movement is _____.
Slump
Slump
Slump
When a block of material moves down slopes along a curved surface, the type of mass movement is called a rockslide. This is a rapid, downslope movement of a coherent rock mass along a planar or slightly curved surface.
Slump
Slump is a form of mass wasting that involves the downward movement of a block of material along a curved surface. It is a type of erosion process as material is being transported downslope due to gravity.
When a mass of material moves downslope along a curved surface, the process is called slumping. This can occur when the stability of the material is disrupted, causing it to slide or slump downwards due to gravity.
No, slump is not an example of mass movement. Slump is a type of soil movement that involves the downward sliding of a mass of rock or soil along a curved surface. Mass movements usually involve the downslope movement of material under the influence of gravity, such as landslides and rockfalls.
a slump
The four main types of mass movement are landslides, rockfalls, mudflows, and slumps. Landslides involve the downslope movement of material along a defined surface, rockfalls occur when rocks break loose and fall rapidly down a slope, mudflows are rapid flows of mud and water mixed with debris, and slumps involve the movement of material along a curved surface.
The movement of material down slope along a curved surface is called creep. It is a slow, continuous process of particle-by-particle movement typically caused by gravity and can occur on various slope angles.
