Question

7.

The process responsible for moving material downslope under the influence of gravity is called _____. (1 point)

erosion
weathering
mass movement
soil formation

Answer 1

The correct answer is - mass movement.

The mass movement is a process that appears on the slopes of the mountains, where under the influence of the gravity, the weathered rocks and the loose sediments are moving downwards. Once the rocks are broken into small pieces, the sheer force of the gravity pulls them down the slope, so they move downwards, and end up in the lower parts of the mountain.

Answer 2

The process responsible for moving material down slope under the influence of gravity is called mass movement. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the third option. The other options can easily be negated. I hope the answer comes to your help.
