What causes a marble to roll?

Best Answer

Because of the force of friction pushing against the ball. The only way it could avoid that is if it wasn't rubbing against the ground and was instead closing floating in air, like the puck in air hockey. The air blowing up on it keeps the puck and the table from rubbing against each other and causing friction. :)

Friction against the surface that it is rolling across and friction against the air (air resistance).
