Question
__________ is the most significant factor that causes mass movements.
- Pressure
- Temperature
- Water content
- Composition of bulk
Hint:
Water content
The correct answer is: Water content
- Water content is the most significant factor that causes mass movements.
- Water increases slope instability.
- It lubricates rock fragments or debris so that they slide down slope more easily.
- Hence, mass wasting occurs more readily in rainy seasons.
- So, the correct answer is water content.
