PPT-Mass Movement, Wind, Glaciers

1 Mass Movement A down slope movement of loose sediment and weathered rocks resulting from the force of gravity  Erosion following weathering climatic conditions determine which materials and how much. GLACIERS OF GLACIERS OF SWEDEN By VALTER SCHYTT 1 2 Abstract The most recent glacier inventory lists a total glacier area for Sweden of 314 square kilometers.

Earth’s land is made of slope and as the force of gravity works on the slope materials move downslope. . This movement is called mass movement. Weathering and mass movement produce most landforms..

A glacier appears to be motionless, but glaciers move very slowly.. Glaciers are dynamic weathering . and erosional .
