Question

What is/are the factor(s) responsible for the downward movement of a large volume of rocks down the slopes of land?

• A. Carbonation
• B. Steepness of the slope
• C. Weight and type of rock fragments
• D. Rainfall conditions

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (C), (D)

The correct options are
B Steepness of the slope
C Weight and type of rock fragments
D Rainfall conditions

Due to gravity, vast volumes of rocks and weathered fragments move down slopes of the land. These movements can be sudden or slow. The steepness of the slope, weight and type of the rocks and fragments, and a region's rainfall are factors that affect these movements.
