Mass Movements

Define mass movement. The transfer of rock and soil downslope due to gravity.

What are the different types of mass movements? Rockfalls, rockslides, mudslides, slumps, mudflows, earthflows, and creeps.

Which mass movement has the greatest potential to cause the most damage? Why? I think rockslides cause the most damage because rocks are hard and dangerous to be around especially when the rocks are big.

Include at least one picture of damage caused by your mass movement.

4 Sciences

The 4 sciences are geology, astronomy, oceanography, and meteorology.

My favorite one is meteorology because it sounds like the easiest one.

My Favorite Kind Of Map

I would have to say that my favorite map projection from today was the Gnomonic Map Projection because I liked the design and how it was made. Even though it's harder to read, it's still prettier than all of the other maps.

What I Expect

What I expect grade wise in Earth Science would have to be an "A", preferably a 100. I plan to achieve everything that I need to know to pass the class, and I would want to know everything I need to know for the future. I will achieve my "A" by doing all of my work and focusing.
