What are four forces that cause erosion?
Running water, waves, wind, glaciers, and gravity Erosion is formed by wind, water, ice, and gravity.
How waves in sea was formed?
Wave Rock, in Western Australia, was believed to have been formed by the combination of chemical weathering in the subsurface, before Wave Rock was even fully exposed, together with gradual fluvial erosion of the softer granite beneath the upper surface.
How are Waves are carriers of energy?
Waves are carriers of energy because waves are caused by energy flowing through the water making them move in a wavy motion. The waves are also caused by the wind blowing on the top of the water.
What causes most waves to occur?
The most common cause of surface ocean waves is air movement (the wind). Waves within the ocean can also be caused by tides, interactions between waves, submatine earthquakes or volcanic activity, and atmospheric disturbances (storms). Wave size depends on wind speed, wind duration, and the distance of water over which the wind blows. The longer the distance the wind travels over water, or the harder it blows, the higher the waves. As the wind blows over the water, it tries to drag the surface of the water with it. The surface water cannot move as fast as air, so the water rises. After it rises, the water is pulled back down by gravity. The falling water's momentum is carried below the surface, and water pressure from below pushes this swell back up again. This tug of war between gravity and water pressure creates wave motion.
How is wind a weathering agent?
Wind can cause weathering of rocks through "sandblasting", the abrasion from wind carried particles, and through the movement of wind created waves that can weather rocks from applied and hydraulic force.
What do rivers glaciers wind and waves cause?
Weathering and Erosion.
Which of these is an agent of erosion glaciers gravity ocean waves glaciers wind or all of these?
All

waves glaciers gravity mass wind

Can rivers have waves if so what causes them?
Certainly. Waves are caused by the wind on the surface.
What is the cause of waves?
The cause of waves depends on the strength of the wind. The stronger the wind the bigger the wave.
