Question
Question 6 (1 point) Mass wasting is the down slope movement of material due to gravity. O the maximum slope angle at which given unconsolidated material is stable. O the space (usually measured in degrees) between two intersecting lines or surfaces at or close to the point where they meet. a mixed flow of rock, sediment, vegetation and other materials.

This image shows that the angle of repose is dependent on the size of the sediment. the angle of repose is different on different slopes. the angle of repose is dependent on the color of the rocks. the angle of repose occurs on sand dunes.
