running water, wind, glaciers and waves
Gravity
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.
Deposition 'erosion'? Water, wind, glaciers, waves, and gravity are considered the five agents 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.
Yes.
gravity is pulling the rock materials down by its force but agents of erosion is changing of rocks

Landslides are caused by the force of gravity pulling on the rocks.
Wind, rain, fire, gravity , glacier retraction, waves. Moving water, ice, wind and gravity are the agents 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.

The agents of erosion are: running water, glaciers, waves, and wind. # I would say that wind is the top agent of erosion that is assisted by gravity because gravity pulls down the sediments that the wind is eroding. # Running water is probably the second because gravity is the force that moves rock and other materials downhill, so if running water is moving downhill, gravity helps it. # Finally, glaciers is another agent assisted by gravity because glaciers also move downhill taking down eroded sediment with it.
Yes.
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.
