Yes, if gravity were weaker, the mountains would be higher but a lot more crumbly. ergo - their present non-crumblieness is due in part to gravity.
Human beings may cause erosion by activities such as farming or games. They may also cause erosion by cutting down trees and other vegetation that act as windbreakers.
Waterfalls often cause erosion, but a waterfall is not a 'type' of erosion in itself. The power of the water, as it hits the bottom, picks up dirt and sand that act as abrasives, grinding away at the rock. PBS in the United States has recently shown a very impressive documentary about the formation of Niagra Falls and the way that erosion facilitated the creation of the falls. It creates what is called "headward erosion".
Wind is an agent of erosion. It is responsible for moving material from one place to another place.
Erosion is the wearing away of landscape by different agents such as water,wind etc.So erosion takes place rapidly in a place where these agents act actively on material.
Trees in the forest act as wind-breaks, and their roots help slow the effects or erosion.
Various ways. Gravity of stars act on planets and cause them to rotate around them, as well as asteroids that get caught in gravity fields and fall to the plant's surface.
Wind erosion, liquid erosion, chemical/corrosive erosion, heat erosion, can't think of any more...
The force of gravity, weight = mg.
when glaciers form gravity starts pulling them and they slide over the ground and it pulls up the earth.
Agents for erosion and transporting sediments include gravity, wind, water (including currents), or ice. Other forces in nature do not act in the same way, for example, lava.
Some forces that can act against a structure include gravity, wind, seismic activity, temperature changes, and soil erosion. These forces can weaken the integrity of a structure over time if not properly accounted for in the design and construction process.
The force of gravity is considered to act at the center of mass of an object.
Human beings may cause erosion by activities such as farming or games. They may also cause erosion by cutting down trees and other vegetation that act as windbreakers.
Gravity acts on everything....even light!
Windbreaks
yes
