How do gates with more than 2 inputs work?

In the book "Computer Architecture" by Tanenbaum there is a chapter about gates and I had a question, what will be the output signal if there are more than two input signals? On Wikipedia, all truth tables have only two inputs, so I did not find an answer there. For example, you can take NOR gate. If at least one input has a logical 1, then the output will be zero. But what if we have four inputs with values ​​​​1, 0, 0, 0? What will the output signal be then? Or if, for example, we will be 1,1,0,0?Will it be 0?

Just write a table with four three (less fuss) inputs, only 8 different combinations - after that you will explain it to everyone with aplomb.
NON-OR: no matter how many inputs (yes, at least one) - it is enough to apply at least one one to OR - it will be 1.
NOR-OR has inverted inputs - with at least one zero at the input it will give out one. The only zero combination is ones on all inputs.
