Wind can pick up small aggregates and soil particles and displace them in another soil series. Wind can also erode rocks by picking up particles of sand that then slowly erode at the exposed rocks.

∙ 12y agoMost erosion is the result of the earth's surface wearing away by the action of water and wind. The clearing of forests and grasslands leave the ground exposed to blowing or washing away because their roots no longer hold the soil together.

Is gravity a chief agent of erosion?
Yes.
Which of these is an agent of erosion glaciers gravity ocean waves glaciers wind or all of these?
All
How does gravity work with wind to cause erosion?
The force applied by wind can overcome the force of gravity to move objects from their existing position. Erosion has occurred. As soon as gravity predominates over the wind, the object is deposited. The erosion has been halted.
How does wind act in erosion?
Wind is an agent of erosion. It is responsible for moving material from one place to another place.
Which agents carry erosion products?
Wind, water, ice, and gravity.
What is the agent of erosion on cliffs?
The agent of erosion on cliffs mostly is gravity.
What is an agent of erosion on cliffs?
Gravity
Is gravity the major agent of erosion?
No
Is the most effective agent of erosion.?
Gravity induced moving water is the most effective agent of erosion.
Is gravity a force of erosion?
Gravity is an agent of erosion... I'm not quite sure if it is erosion. In the science textbook I have right in front of me it says and I quote, "Gravity, running water, waves, wind and glaciers are all causes, or agents, of erosion. Although it says it's an agent of erosion it doesn't say it is erosion. An agent is a "cause" of something.
Is gravity a chief agent of erosion?
Yes.
What is the erosion most powerful agent?
Gravity.
What agent of erosion is slump?
Gravity, water
What is the most effective agent of erosion?
Most sediments are carried by water, with an assist from gravity, so gravity induced moving water is the most effective agent of erosion.
What is the agent of erosion?
There are 4 main agents of erosion wind water glaciers and gravity
Agent of erosion?
Wind, water, ice, and gravity are the agents of erosion.
Which agent of erosion causes a rock slide?
Gravity causes rock slides
