What is the term for the application of cultural knowledge to teh task of living in an enviroment?

Technology

Explanation:

Technology refers to the application of our knowledge to the everyday life, that is, to living in the environment.

There are numerous types of technology and many areas where it is applied (e.g. engineering, construction, biomedical science, etc) but overall it is the usage of tools -created by humans- to adapt to the environment with the objective of making things in a better and more advance way and to solve problems in a faster and more effective way.

the correct answer is 2.

a slump in geology means a mass movement process of slope failure. a mass of rock or unconsolidated material drops along a slip surface. in other words, rock layers move a short distance down the slope. the slump block is an intact block (2), without any landslide material.

in this image, 1 is the surface of rapture (scarp), 2 the slump block, 3 main scarp (crown), 4 base of rapture with debris flow.

slumps are caused by clear cutting on unstable soils and the sagging of earth, in coastal areas they are due to wave infiltration.
