how is mass wasting different from other forms of erosion?
a. it involves chemical reactions.
b. it involves physical forces.
c. it happens suddenly.
d. it takes millions of years.
Mass wasting is the movement of rock and soil down - slope under the influence of gravity. Unlike some other forms of erosion that may occur gradually over long periods, mass wasting can happen suddenly, such as in the case of landslides. It is mainly driven by physical forces (gravity) and does not necessarily involve chemical reactions. And it doesn't take millions of years to occur.
