Mass wasting is the movement of sediment by gravity transports. Meaning the earth’s outer crust is being ‘wasted’ away on a ‘massive’ scale and falling to lower elevations. It is also a type of erosion and can make changes to the side of the mountain.

Answer: Is the movement of sediment by gravity.

Mass wasting is the movement of sediments generate due to the mass movement of rock, soil or other debris from a hilly or slopy region downwards due to the effect of gravity. This effect can be highly be observed during landslides. Agents like wind and water also promote this effect.
