Gravity is only an aid to erosion, though it has no power by itself: does a sheet of paper erode because gravity acts upon it?
Nonetheless, gravity can be harmful through mass movement, and we know this because it happens regularly. It is particularly harmful when it is sudden, as in a rock fall. This may result in death and so is very harmful. Mass movement may also result in loss/damage of property and injury.

What are the four agents of erosion?
The four agents of erosion are water, wind, ice, and gravity. Water erosion is caused by rivers, streams, and rainfall. Wind erosion occurs when wind carries and deposits sediment. Ice erosion is caused by glaciers moving and carving the land. Gravity erosion involves materials being pulled downhill due to gravity.
What is the agent of erosion on cliffs?
The agent of erosion on cliffs mostly is gravity.
What is the movement of rock by wind and water and gravity?
The movement of rock by wind is called "aeolian" erosion, by water is called "fluvial" erosion, and by gravity is called "mass wasting" or "gravity-driven" erosion. These processes contribute to the shaping of Earth's surface over time.
What are the 4 major types of erosion?
The four major types of erosion are water erosion (caused by runoff and water flow), wind erosion (caused by wind moving particles), ice erosion (caused by glaciers and ice melt), and gravity erosion (caused by gravity moving rocks and soil downhill).
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.
How does gravity differ from other agents of erosion?
gravity is pulling the rock materials down by its force but agents of erosion is changing of rocks
What force causes erosion?
Wind, rain, fire, gravity , glacier retraction, waves. Moving water, ice, wind and gravity are the agents of erosion.
What are the different types of gravity erosion?
Two main types of gravity erosion are mass wasting, which involves the downslope movement of rock and soil under the influence of gravity, and erosion by gravity-driven processes like landslides, rock falls, and slumps. These processes are influenced by factors such as slope gradient, rock and soil properties, and the presence of water which can increase the likelihood of erosion.
