Answer 1

» The accumulation of angular pieces of rock at the base of a slope known as talus. The २) down slope movement of material all along is slumb curved surface of empture 3) The most widespread and costly of all is mass wasting processes Creep .. 4 ) Mass by slope angle wasting is influenced vegetation, weathering all of the preceding water content Hence, answers. hence cold climates occurs in , 5 Solifluction in broma foost areas. it is common most 6) To reduce the slope angle and to provide support at the base of a hillside ; cut and all helpful. fill, retaining benching Thus all of preceding are rretaining walls answers. the ; it is 7 ) Wildfire is not geologic hazard a natural hazard without involvement of

geologic factors. 8 Hazards are or impact on natural phenomenon that have planet regardless of damage the damage only it diefers to geologic hazard. loss risk side on ; while Hence ; gj Earthquake , food, avalanche impact will always the Hence all of the above. metorite hazard. geologic be are not charactrized by 1o) Meteorite impacts using a geologic map.
