Erosion and Deposition

Question 4 • DRHS GA-GSE Earth Systems

Which factor influences the mass movement of particles?

Answer
A
wind blowing across a body of water
B
addition of vegetation to a slope
C
large rocks and debris on a slope
D
puddle of water resting on flat land

Explanation

Large rocks and debris on a slope add weight, which can increase the force pulling material downhill and contribute to mass movement. Vegetation generally helps hold slope material in place, while wind across water and a puddle on flat land do not directly promote particles moving downslope. The correct choice is large rocks and debris on a slope.
