Gravity is not a major influence in the decomposition of a rock, unless the rock
falls off of a cliff.
The main process consists of water seeping into tiny cracks in the rock, then
expanding as it freezes.
Well, if you want to stretch it, I guess you could give gravity the credit for making
the water seep into the cracks.
What else can I help you with?
What name is this process when rocks break down?
the process is called weathering when the rocks break down
How did the animals use gravity in Animal Farm?
to break big rocks
Which force does not break down rocks in nature?
Magnetic force does not break down rocks in nature. Rocks are typically broken down by mechanical weathering (e.g. frost wedging, root growth) and chemical weathering (e.g. oxidation, dissolution).
Rocks break down to?
soil
What pulls rocks and soil down slopes?
gravity
How does gravity contribute to erosion?
Weathering can break up rocks on a slope or cliff. Then gravity will then pull the weathered rock down the slope or cliff. Erosion is the moving of weathered rock. Gravity would be moving the weathered rock down the slope or cliff.
What are the four things that move rocks (erosion)?
The four main agents of erosion that move rocks are water (rivers, rain, waves), wind, ice (glaciers), and gravity. These forces can break down rocks into smaller pieces and transport them to different locations.
What are the processes that break down rocks?
Weathering
What plants break down rocks?
none
Does weathering break rocks down?
Yes
How rocks from a cliff can be broken down to become sand?
Erosion is the main force that acts on rocks to break them down into sand. Water getting into cracks, freezing and expanding also helps to break down rocks.
Can temperatures break down rocks?
Yes. Temperature changes, water, wind, pressure changes, plant and animal action, and gravity are all agents of physical weathing.
