a. sediment flowing down a slope

Tori Houston · Answer 2

Answer: Mass movement of particles is the sediment flowing down a slope.

Explanation:

Mass movement is the process in which sand, soil, rock or other particles under the influence of gravity move in the downward direction.

Therefore, mass movement of particles is the sediment flowing down a slope.

When these particles reach downward slope they are collected by some transporting agent and are shifted to other place.
