Answer:

Mass Movement is the 'down slope movement' of Regolith( body of material soil, rock particles) by the 'force of gravity' without the aid of a transporting medium.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The mass movement is a erosion process through which continuous weathering of soil and rock particles move towards the slope without any aid and finally landing into a sea bed or ocean.
  • This movement can be disastrous depending upon the gravity, water levels, materials that are troublesome.
