What are the different types of gravity erosion?
The types of erosion by gravity are: slump and creep Types of deposition by gravity: rock falls, rock slide, mud flow
When gravity causes huge amount of rock or soil to be carried down a slope this is referred to as a?
Rock slide / land slide / mass wasting.
Which characteristic of a transported rock would be most helpful in determining its agent of erosion?
physical appearance
What role has moving water played in shaping Earth's surface?
this causes erosion
What are two ways water can cause erosion?
Water can cause erosion by wearing away rock, such as waves hitting rock cliffs causing the rock to wear away. Rain causes erosion to soil that is left bare without any grass or plants to prevent it.
What causes a rock to weather?
Acid erosion or abraision
What causes rock layers to uplift?
Rock layers can be uplifted by tectonic forces, such as the movement of tectonic plates converging, diverging, or sliding past each other. This can create pressure, folding, and faulting in the crust, causing rocks to uplift. Erosion can also remove overlying material, exposing deeper rock layers and causing uplift.

What part does wind play in erosion?
Wind picks up sediment which causes erosion when it hits the rock.
What causes rock or sediment to move downhill?
limjmnm
What a river causes by removing rocks and soil from itys river bed?
erosion. and due to that erosion we get sedimentary rock.
When gravity causes huge amount of rock or soil to be carried down a slope this is referred to as a?
Rock slide / land slide / mass wasting.
Erosion is one of the major causes of missing rock layers known as?
Unconformities. =)
What causes the erosion valley?
Gravity causes rock to fall away from steep mountains or cliffs and even by Landslides.
Which characteristic of a transported rock would be most helpful in determining its agent of erosion?
physical appearance
What role has moving water played in shaping Earth's surface?

What causes the erosion of rock layers in a canyon slowly over many years?
Doposition
