Earth's gravity attracts everything toward it's center of mass.

Generally, objects are mutually attracted to each other from their centers of mass. This is why you fall back to the ground when you jump.

What pull of gravity makes surface material move?

The pull of gravity makes surface material move in the form of erosion, mass wasting, or landslides. Gravity acts as a constant force that causes materials to be pulled downward or moved along sloped surfaces.


The pull of gravity makes surface material move?

Towards the center of the Earth.


How does gravity make something move across the surface of earth?

the pull of earth's gravity makes any objects fall to the ground.As the moon goes around earth, its gravity pulls on earth causing water in the oceans to move toward the moon.Earths gravity also pulls on the moon.


What makes plates move-?

Plates at our planet's surface move because of the intense heat in the Earth's core that causes molten rock in the mantle layer to move. It moves in a pattern called a convection cell that forms when warm material rises, cools, and eventually sink down.

How is gravity involved in the erosion of earths surface by mass movement?

Gravity plays a key role in mass movement erosion by pulling rock and soil down slopes. When gravity overcomes the resistance of friction and cohesion holding the material in place, mass movement processes like landslides, rockslides, and mudslides occur. Gravity acts as the driving force that causes the material to move downslope, shaping and reshaping the Earth's surface over time.

Which erosional force acts alone to produce avalanches and landslides?

Gravity acts alone to produce avalanches and landslides. When the force of gravity exceeds the strength of the material holding it in place on a slope, the material will move downhill in the form of an avalanche or landslide.
