What else can I help you with?
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
How does gravity work with wind to cause erosion?
The force applied by wind can overcome the force of gravity to move objects from their existing position. Erosion has occurred. As soon as gravity predominates over the wind, the object is deposited. The erosion has been halted.
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.
What is the driving force behind all agents of erosion?
Gravity is the driving force behind all agents of erosion. If there is no gravity, rain will not fall and running water will not happen. Similarly, wind, glacial activity and waves are driven by gravity.
If we compare the force of gravity to strong nuclear force we could conclude that?
the strong nuclear force is much stronger than the force of gravity. Gravity is the weakest of the four fundamental forces, while the strong nuclear force holds atomic nuclei together and is much stronger than gravity on the atomic scale.
What force and what can contribute to both erosion and mass wasting?
gravity and movement
What force and what cause contributes to erosion and mass wasting?
gravity and movement
What force is mainly responsible for the erosion and deposition that happens in landslidesmudslidesand rockfalls?
Gravity is the main force responsible for causing erosion and deposition in landslides, mudslides, and rockfalls. When the force of gravity overcomes the resistance of rocks or soil, these mass movements occur, leading to erosion and deposition of material downslope.
What is weakest gravity the strong force the weak force or the electromagnetic force?
Gravity is the weakest force. In order from strongest to weakest is the strong force, the electromagnetic force, the weak force, and gravity. However, this is relative to distance - one could consider that gravity is the strongest force because its effect can be felt over enormous distances, even astronomical distances.
What agents of erosion are in part caused by the force of gravity?
Agents of erosion caused in part by the force of gravity include mass wasting processes such as landslides, rockfalls, and slumps. Gravity acts as a driving force for these processes by pulling loose material downhill.
Which erosional force acts alone to produce avalanches and landslides?
Gravity acts alone to produce avalanches and landslides. When the force of gravity exceeds the strength of the material holding it in place on a slope, the material will move downhill in the form of an avalanche or landslide.
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.
