What else can I help you with?
What is the force that pulls downward causing rain and soil to run down a slope?
Soil erosion.
What force is mainly responsible for the erosion and deposition that happens in landslidesmudslidesand rockfalls?
Gravity is the main force responsible for causing erosion and deposition in landslides, mudslides, and rockfalls. When the force of gravity overcomes the resistance of rocks or soil, these mass movements occur, leading to erosion and deposition of material downslope.
How does gravity work with wind to cause erosion?
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.
Is a waterfall deposition or erosion?
A waterfall is primarily associated with erosion rather than deposition. The force of the water flowing over the edge of a waterfall can erode the rock below, causing the waterfall to retreat upstream over time.
Does erosion apply force?
Yes. Erosion is weathering. It's can apply force but doesn't have to.
What is fast erosion?
Fast erosion is when any force (wind, rain, ice, water, etc.) comes in at a massive amount causing erosion to happen quicker and more violently. For example, A monsoon (heavy rain storm) could create a form of fast erosion known as a landslide. If there is a tsunami the force of the water could rip apart coastlines, and nearby land forms.
Is gravity a force 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.
What is the driving force behind all agents of erosion?
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.
Where is the wind most effective in causing erosion?
Winds are most effective in causing erosion, in the steppes, arid and desert regions/areas.
Which force of erosion is the most important?
The most important and strongest force of erosion is Water.
What forces affect rocks above the earth's surface?
The main force that affects the rocks on the earth's surface is heat and erosion. Erosion causes rocks to have landslides and heat changes their structure causing them to take place as different structures.
What is the driving force for erosion?
the driving force for erosion is , when bad things come out of driving that involves erosion.
