How does gravity contribute to erosion?
Weathering can break up rocks on a slope or cliff. Then gravity will then pull the weathered rock down the slope or cliff. Erosion is the moving of weathered rock. Gravity would be moving the weathered rock down the slope or cliff.
What type of erosion is a weathered cliff?
When a wave impacts a cliff face, air is forced into cracks under high pressure, widening them. Over long periods of time, the growing cracks destabilise the cliff and fragments of rock break off of it
What are some disadvantages to building on a seaside cliff?
The sea wall helps block water. They only last for up to 30 years. They cost £2000-£5000 per meter. Stops and protects flooding from land and houses.
What is the movement of weathered material?
erosion
How is erosion made?
erosion is when bits falll of a substance after it has been weathered
What type of erosion formed weathered cliff?
wave

How are weathering cliffs formed?
Weathered cliffs are formed as natural rain storms or snow and ice cause parts of the cliffs to break off and fall. This weathering also includes erosion caused by water passing from the top of the cliff to the bottom.

The process that transports rocks soil and sediments to a different location is called?
The process by which natural forces move weathered rock and soil form one place to another is called (EROSION)
The movement of weathered rock material?
The movement of eroded rock particles by wind, water, ice, and gravity is called erosion.
The process of moving weathered material is called?
This is erosion
