Answer:

  • Rain falling on a slope

  • Water flowing downhill a region

  • large rocks and debris on a slope

Mass movement or mass wasting is a process of movement of particles of rocks, soil and other debris down a slope due to the effect of gravitational force acting on these particles. The mass movement or mass wasting occurs due to agents like high speed wind and fast moving water down a slope. Mass movement or mass wasting mainly occur in landslides and mudslides. Rain falling on a slope, water flowing downhill a region, large rocks and debris on a slope are factors which will influence the mass movement of particles.

Gravity is the main force responsible for mass movements. Gravity is a force that acts everywhere on the Earth's surface, pulling everything in a direction toward the center of the Earth.

It is right
