no because Groundwater does little to contribute to mechanical erosion. However, it can significantly erode chemically

How does ground water cause erosion?
1 Running water on the surface of the earth erodes the land. Groundwater also can cause erosion under the surface. As water flows through the soil, acid is formed. This acid can cause minerals to be dissolved.2 Minerals that are carried in groundwater can also be deposited in other places. This cycle of erosion and deposition can cause underground caves to form. This happens especially in areas where there is limestone below the surface.3 A cave is an underground opening. It has a connection to the surface of the earth. A cave is formed by the erosion of limestone under the ground. The acid water moves through the cracks in the limestone and makes them larger.
Which part of the water cycle might cause erosion?
Precipitation will cause erosion. If you are counting collection as part of the water cycle, that can cause erosion, too, as the water moves over the ground.
Does wind cause earth surface to change?
yes, its called erosion
Unlike moving surface water groundwater does not cause erosion?
Yea so what is your question?
How does wind cause erosion and deposition?
when the wind stops , its getting weaker and weaker because its slowing down and doesn't have as much energy when its blowing , so eventually drops everything.
Do surface water and ground water both cause erosion and deposition?
YES
What three things that cause both erosion deposition?

Is a canyon created by erosion or deposition?
Erosion
How does erosion and deposition affect mountain ranges?
Deposition and erosion can wear down a mountain and cause it to shrink.
Do tornadoes cause deposition?
No. Tornadoes cause erosion.
Do waves in the ocean cause erosion but not deposition?
No
How does glacier cause erosion and deposition?
whater
Can water cause erosion and deposition?
Yes.
How can water cause erosion and deposition?
As water flows, it picks up particles of the ground and carries it along the stream of water. That is erosion. As water deposits into another body of water, for example the Mississippi river into the Gulf of Mexico, those particles of ground are deposited in that area. That is deposition.
How does deposition affect mountains?
Deposition and erosion can wear down a mountain and cause it to shrink.
