Yes. Gravity is essential to shaping Earth's surface. Masses of rock and soil periodically fall, roll, and slide down from hills, mountains, and cliffs. Rain and snow fall on the surface, causing erosion and forming streams and rivers that flow downhill. Glaciers flow downhill, carving into solid rock. All of these processes are driven by gravity.

How do glaciers form and change the earth's surface?
by gravity, ice, wind, water
What is gravity on Mars compared to earth?
The gravity on the surface of Mars is approximately one third of that on the surface of Earth. Comment: I always say "about 38%".
Can gravity on earth change?
Yes, definitely. If a substantial piece of the Earth were to break off and sail away,then the force of gravity on the surface of the remaining piece would be substantiallyless than it is now.As long as the Earth's mass doesn't change substantially, however, the accelerationof gravity on or near its surface, and therefore the weight of things located in thatneighborhood, doesn't change.
How much surface gravity does the moon have?
The surface gravity on the moon is approximately one sixth the surface gravity of Earth.
What is the Suns gravity in relation to Earths gravity?
The Sun's gravity, at its surface, is about 28 times Earth's surface gravity.
How does the force of gravity on Jupiter compare to the force of gravity in Earth?
At the surface, it is 2.64 times its value at the Earth's surface.
What is the gravity on the moon compared to earth's gravity?
An object on the moon's surface weighs 0.165 as much as it does on the Earth's surface.
How much is Sedna's gravity compared to Earth's gravity?
Sedna's surface gravity is estimated to be 0.27 m/sec2; Earth's surface gravity is about 9.8 m/sec2.
How does the surface gravity on Mars compare that on Earth?
Mars's gravity is 38% of Earth's.
What is the gravity percentage on Mars?
Martian gravity is only 38% of the Earth's gravity.
Why is the specific gravity of mercury on the moon not the same as its specific gravity on earth?
The gravity at the surface of Mercury is less than the gravity at the surface of the Earth because Mercury has less mass than Earth does.
Is there a planet with more gravity than earth?
This question is probably about the strength of the "surface gravity" of the planets. "Jupiter" is the obvious answer. It has a surface gravity about 2.5 times Earth's. Neptune also has a higher surface gravity than Earth. (Sometimes Saturn is given as another example, but it depends on the exact definition of "surface gravity".)
