What are the different types of gravity erosion?
The types of erosion by gravity are: slump and creep Types of deposition by gravity: rock falls, rock slide, mud flow
What are some examples of erosion?
The gorge below Niagara falls is an example of erosion. Over many many years the falls has eroded away the rock as it slowly moved backwards. The steep sides of the gorge is the result.
How does erosion transport soil?
Soil is carried in the rocks during erosion and as rocks break the soil loosens and falls out.
Which types of mass movements are most dangerous to humans?
Landslides rock falls mudflow if you didn't know what the answer was your stupif
What forces cause erosion and deposition?
Primarily a combination of Gravity, solar energy in the form of wind or waves, and tectonic forces Erosion is the movement of sediment and deposition is when that sediment gets placed somewhere else. Water falls to the Earth in the water cycle, and gravity pulls the water (or ice) down hill, carrying sediment with it (erosion). As the speed of the water slows as the slope decreases, the larger and larger pieces of sediment are settled out of the water by the force of gravity, becoming deposited someplace else. If there is no water present, sediment can be transported by any other fluid as well, usually air in the form of wind. As the wind slows, gravity is again the main factor in deposition. Tectonic forces also cause events such as lava flows, mass wasting etc.
What happen in deposition?
When sediment from erosion and weathering of rocks falls or lands somewhere.
Is a waterfall formed from erosion or deposition?
It is formed from both. The rocks forms the falls had one had to be deposited and their current erosion by the river is resulting in the waterfall.

What are two examples of rock erosion?
Blowing sand and Niagara Falls.
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
How does weathering erosion and deposition effect Niagara Falls?
Erosion occurs to Niagara Falls becaust there is a vast amount of water flowing over the edge and it rubs against the edge causing pieces to fall off.

Yes
Who made the Niagara falls?
Erosion did
