Landslides are a common occurrence in the United States, especially during extreme weather conditions. Other causes of landslides include fire, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and even human interference. If the landslide is accompanied by mud or debris, this can be even more devastating to property, livestock, and even human life. If you have been a victim of mud slide and debris flow, it is advisable to contact experts in flood damage remediation in St. Augustine at (866) 599-0871.

Mudflows are formed when loose water and mud break loose and flow down according to gravity. This is usually caused by heavy rains on loose soil. These flow the fastest, unlike mudslides, due to amount of water in it and the quality of the soil.

Earth on a slope will often form a mudflow if saturated by heavy rain, and the slope has been laid bare due to tree-felling.

Gravity


What are examples of gravity erosion?

Some examples would be avalanche, landslide, debris flow, mudflow, and a sinkhole. Gravitational eroson is caused by gravity in contrast to the physical movement of wind and water required for other types of soil erosion. This involvs mass wasting and smaller scale erosion. Two types of mass movements are slump and creep


What agents of erosion are caused by gravity?

Wind,Running Water,Glaciers, and Waves!


Erosion caused by gravity?

Yes, erosion is caused by the factors such as wind action, river and stream processes, marine processes (sea waves), and glacial processes, which is all due to gravity.


What agents of erosion are in part caused by the force of gravity?

running water, wind, glaciers and waves

What is the difference between swell and whitecap?

A swell is a wave or series of waves that are caused by surface gravity. However a whitecap wave is caused by the wind.


What is the water in the oceans pulled by?

As far as tides it is th pull of the moon's gravity, but waves can be caused by wind.


There is a great deal of erosion on the moon caused by wind and water true or false?

No. There is no wind, gravity, or water on the moon. The footsteps of the men who landed there are still there.


What cause air resistance?

I do not know.Perhaps it is caused by a sudden acceleration of wind resistance caused by the outer feedings lead by a major pushback from air against gravity.


Is gravity a form of erosion?

The Earth's gravity is the force that keeps our feet firmly on the ground. It has nothing to do with erosion, which is mainly caused by weathering - wind, sun, water, and ice.
