All erosion is powerful, especially given millions of years. Running water is particularly powerful because the water cycle constantly causes Fluvial erosion globally, and it is the extent to which running water is found compared to the other agents which makes it so powerful. Rivers in particular are able to transport a lot of material, and the sheer force of a river, like the Amazon for example, means that it erodes far quicker than any other form of erosion.

How is ice an agent of erosion?
Ice is an agent of erosion because water,wind , and ice are like one they work together so they can make a agent of erosion
How is ice an agent erosion?

What is the most effective agent of erosion?
Most sediments are carried by water, with an assist from gravity, so gravity induced moving water is the most effective agent of erosion.
Why is erosion after rainfall a concern in desert areas?
because the land is so dry that it can not absorb all of the water. Therefore causing erosion.
Define erosion and tell how gravity works with water ice and wind to cause erosion?
•The key to erosion is something called "fluid flow." Water, air, and even ice are fluids because they tend to flow from one place to another due to the force of gravity. Of the three, liquid water is the most common agent of erosion because there's so much of it on the surface of the Earth .
What makes a glacier such a powerful agent of erosion and depositions?
Because it is so big and bulky.
Is there water erosion on Jupiter?
Erosion is not a solid planet, like Earth, it is a gas giant. As such it does not have a surface to erode by anything. So there is no water erosion on Jupiter.
What agents of erosion are assisted by the force of gravity?
The agents of erosion are: running water, glaciers, waves, and wind. # I would say that wind is the top agent of erosion that is assisted by gravity because gravity pulls down the sediments that the wind is eroding. # Running water is probably the second because gravity is the force that moves rock and other materials downhill, so if running water is moving downhill, gravity helps it. # Finally, glaciers is another agent assisted by gravity because glaciers also move downhill taking down eroded sediment with it.
Why does mars have water erosion?
because i say so.

Is water more powerful than wind?
Wind controls water, so no.
Why are African runners so successful in long distance running and marathon races?
because they are very powerful and they love running

Why is erosion after a rainfall a concern desert areas?
because the land is so dry that it can not absorb all of the water. Therefore causing erosion.

Is there eroision on the moon?
There is no atmosphere on the Moon and no large bodies of water to cause any forms of erosion, so there is no erosion like on Earth.
