What are the definitions and examples related to mass wasting, weathering, erosion, atmospheric layers, earthquakes, volcanoes, weathering factors, atmospheric gases, and river transportation?

Morning Amina — let's get this done. Here are the answers to the questions in Section B: 1. When regolith or materials move under the influence of gravity and slope aided by moisture, it is referred to as mass wasting (or mass movement). 2. Weathering is the in-situ breakdown and decomposition of rocks and minerals at or near the Earth's surface. Erosion is the process by which weathered material is transported from one location to another by agents like wind, water, ice, or gravity. 3. The correct order of the thermal structure of the atmosphere from lowest to highest is: Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere, Exosphere. 4. Minor earthquakes or tremors that precede a major earthquake are called foreshocks. 5. The three types of volcanoes are: • Shield volcanoes • Stratovolcanoes (or composite volcanoes) • Cinder cone volcanoes 6. Three factors that influence the rate of weathering are: • Rock type and structure (e.g., mineral composition, presence of joints/cracks) • Climate (e.g., temperature, precipitation) • Topography (e.g., slope angle, elevation) • Presence of vegetation • Time 7. The three biggest gases in the atmosphere are: • Nitrogen (N_2) • Oxygen (O_2) • Argon (Ar) 8. Three processes of river transportation are: • Solution (dissolved load) • Suspension (suspended load) • Saltation (bouncing load) • Traction (rolling/dragging load) 9. Three landforms associated with wind erosion are: • Deflation hollows • Ventifacts • Yardangs • Desert pavement 10. The two types of surface waves during an earthquake are: • Love waves • Rayleigh waves Send me the next one 📸
