You use a triple-beam scale to measure mass.
Soil and rock particles typically fall vertically downward due to the force of gravity. The direction of their fall is determined by the pull of gravity towards the center of the Earth.
Gravity is not a major influence in the decomposition of a rock, unless the rock falls off of a cliff. The main process consists of water seeping into tiny cracks in the rock, then expanding as it freezes. Well, if you want to stretch it, I guess you could give gravity the credit for making the water seep into the cracks.
It's a combination of ice and rock that join together or come off from a bigger piece of rock and is shot off into space curving with the pull of gravity.
Gravity is a force, not a rock. (Previous answer erased for rudeness).

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.
All matter, including air has a gravitational pull. The gravity we feel, though is not a product of Earth's atmosphere, which has a tiny mass in proportion to the planet itself. Most of the mass of Earth is rock and metal. That is the source of most of Earth's gravity.
To me the most important instrument in rock music is the electric guitar.
As a rock falls to the ground, its kinetic energy increases due to its increasing velocity towards the Earth's surface. The rock's potential energy decreases as it loses height and moves closer to the ground. Additionally, the rock's acceleration due to gravity increases as it falls, leading to an increase in its overall speed and momentum.
A 5 pound rock on Earth would weigh 5.3 pounds on Saturn. This is because Saturn's gravity is slightly stronger than the pull on Earth.
To some extent, the crushing of rock at the earth's center would cause compression of the earth's 'underpinnings' and, it would get slightly smaller. Additionally, now being closer to the main Mass of the Earth would slightly increase the pull of gravity (Acceleration due to Gravity) seen on the earth's surface.
