Erosion.
Mass wasting includes several processes caused by gravity that move sediment downhill, such as landslides, mudslides, rockfalls, and creep. These processes are driven by the force of gravity acting on slopes and can be triggered by factors like heavy rainfall, earthquakes, or human activities.
Mass Movement.
Processes caused by gravity that move sediment downhill include mass wasting events such as landslides, rockfalls, and slumps. Gravity pulls the sediment downslope, overcoming the strength of the materials holding it in place. These processes can be triggered by factors such as heavy rainfall, earthquakes, or human activities.
Gravity is the force that moves sediment in a mass movement downhill. The force of gravity acts on the weight of the sediment, causing it to slide, flow, or fall downslope.
Gravity is the main force that causes rocks or sediment to move downhill. When the force of gravity overcomes the friction between rocks or sediment and the ground, they begin to slide, roll, or flow downhill. Other factors such as water, ice, or slope steepness can also contribute to this downhill movement.
The four ways sediments erode by gravity are creep (gradual downhill movement of soil), slides (sudden movement of large masses of soil downhill), flows (movement of sediment mixed with water downhill), and falls (sediment falling freely due to gravity).

Gravity can cause movement of Earth minerals through processes like geological erosion, landslides, and sediment transport. Gravity acts as a force that pulls particles downhill or towards areas of lower elevation, causing the movement of minerals over time.
Gravity is the agent of erosion that causes material to tend to move downhill. As gravity pulls on the material, it causes it to slide, roll, or flow downhill. This process can lead to the transportation of sediment and the formation of landforms such as slopes and valleys.
