What is rock and soil and sand that fall due to gravity?
erosion or landslides
What causes the soil and rock to fall?
When the ground thaws, the force of gravity causes the soil and rock particles to fall back down. But they fall vertically, toward the center of Earth. The result is movement downhill.

What name is given to the mass movement of rock and soil downhill due to gravity?
This is known as a landslide.

How can gravity move large amounts of rock and soil?
gravity can move large amount of rock and soil because in mass wasting gravity moves matieral downwards
What force pulls rock and soil down slope?
gravity is the force

Gravity
The force that pulls rock and soil down slopes?
Gravity
Downhill shifting of rock and soil because of gravity?
eroison
Can the gravity on earth change the surface of the earth?
Yes. Gravity is essential to shaping Earth's surface. Masses of rock and soil periodically fall, roll, and slide down from hills, mountains, and cliffs. Rain and snow fall on the surface, causing erosion and forming streams and rivers that flow downhill. Glaciers flow downhill, carving into solid rock. All of these processes are driven by gravity.
The transfer of soil and rock downslope due to gravity?
Mass Movement.
