This question relates to LO:3. montainous regions along active margins montainous regions along passive margins montainous regions in a variety of plate tectonic settings flat areas QUESTION 6 10 points Save Answer What factors are anticipated to increase the incidence of mass wasting in the future?* (Multiple answers possible) This question relates to LO:3 and 5. continued development and urbanization continued removal of vegetation on slopes growth of exotic plant species like kudzu on slopes decreased rainfall due to climate change increased rainfall due to climate change

Explanation / Answer

Mass wasting

The movement of mass is downward or it falls down due to gravity or weathring , some other factors this downward movement of mass is called as the "Mass wasting".
