Because most of the earth's surface is not perfectly flat.Some places are high
er, and some places are lower.Gravity is aways pulling things from high places down to low places.This downhill movement of earth's material caused by gravity is called mass wasting.Mass wasting depends largely on how steep a slope is.

∙ 9y agoGravity not only hold the Earth and the other planets in their orbits around the sun. It also creates natural movement of objects on Earth. Depending on mass, all things have a natural attraction to one another that we call gravity. An apple falls from a tree to the ground because of this gravitational attraction and tides move in and out because of the gravitational attraction of the moon.

Which force refers to the movement of the solid parts of the earth?
the force refers to the movement of solid parts in the earth is what you call the gravity.
What is meant by a solid metal?
because of the gravity of the earth and its rotating movement in science.
Do the movement in of rocks in the Earth cause the ground to shake?
the movement in the rocks dosnot cause the ground to shake?
What cause the moon orbit earth and earth to revolve around the sun?
sun's gravity pulls earth and earth pulls on the moon.
Would having 2 moons affect the earths gravity why?
NO !!! However, it will affect the movement of the Earth in space and the movement of the Moon. This is because of their own gravitational attraction and their positions relative to each other and Earth.
For which movement of earth materials is gravity not the main force?
Moisture evaporating from the Ocean.
Does earth's gravity cause mass movement?
Yes, waterfalls, river flow, and landslides would all be examples of gravity at work.
Why are the most dense materials the bottom layer in the earth?
Gravity !... Gravity draws everything towards the centre of the Earth - therefore the heaviest materials are closer to the core.
What two motions combined make the moon orbit Earth?
Velocity and gravity (movement around the Earth and the gravity of the Earth pulling on it).
Does earth's magnetic field cause gravity?
No, Earth's magnetic field does not cause gravity because there are two different types of forces.
Which force refers to the movement of the solid parts of the earth?
the force refers to the movement of solid parts in the earth is what you call the gravity.
What cause things to stay on earth?
gravity
Is the earths rotatin by gravity?
No, gravity doesn't cause the Earth's rotation.
How does gravity cause erosion of the earth surface?
gravity doesnt, it is water and heat that does
Could gravity leave the earth?
No. Earth's gravity is a product of its mass, which is a fundamental property of the materials that make it up. The same is true of all objects.
What cause the moon revolution around the Earth?
gravity
Does the moon's gravity cause earth tides?
Yes
