gravity does do that
What else can I help you with?
Is groundwater powered by gravity?
Groundwater is primarily replenished by precipitation infiltrating into the ground. Gravity does play a role in how groundwater moves through the subsurface, as it causes the water to flow downward due to the force of gravity, but it is not the primary power source for groundwater.
Once precipitation reaches the earth's surface it is moved through a watershed as groundwater or surface water by the force of?
gravity. This movement of water through the watershed is driven by the pull of gravity, which causes water to flow downhill. Groundwater generally follows the natural slope of the land and can also be influenced by various factors such as soil type and vegetation.
What process causes surface water to become groundwater?
Surface water infiltrates through the soil and rocks due to gravity, percolating down until it reaches the water table, where it becomes groundwater. This process, known as infiltration, allows surface water to become part of the aquifer system and slowly flow through the underground layers of earth.
What is evidence that groundwater causes erosion and deposition?
Evidence of groundwater causing erosion and deposition includes the formation of sinkholes through the dissolution of underground rocks, the creation of caves and caverns from the movement of water through porous rock formations, and the deposition of minerals as groundwater emerges at the surface in springs or seeps. Groundwater can erode and deposit sediments as it flows through underground aquifers, shaping the landscape over time.
How do harmful chemicals on the land get into groundwater?
Harmful chemicals on the land can seep into groundwater through a process called leaching, where rainwater or irrigation water carries the chemicals through the soil and into the groundwater. Additionally, some chemicals can be directly discharged into the ground where they can infiltrate and contaminate the groundwater.
How does road salt get into groundwater?
The salt dissolves which causes it to evaporate then it melts down and it becomes in the ground, which is in the groundwater.
What causes object to fall?
gravity causes objects to fall
Planets and moons are kept in orbit by the force of?
Gravity, which is caused by the mass of the objects. The gravity between a planet and its moon causes them to be attracted to each other, keeping them in orbit as they move through space.
What causes hotsprings?
Heat from Earth's interior coming into contact with groundwater.
Do gravity and ice cause mechanical weathering?
Yes, gravity can cause mechanical weathering through processes like mass wasting, where gravity causes rocks and debris to move downhill. Ice can also cause mechanical weathering through frost wedging, where repeated freezing and thawing of water in cracks and crevices causes rocks to break apart.
Causes most sediment to wash or fall into a river?
Erosion through gravity. Agents of erosion are water, wind, and ice.
What is the forcce that acts through space?
The force that acts through space is gravity. It is a fundamental force of nature that causes objects with mass to attract each other.
