Erosion changes Earth's surface by moving and depositing weathered materials.

.
Erosion changes the earth's surface by providing a different landscape that reacts to natural occurrences. For example, as a river erodes the land below it, it becomes deeper and creates a river bank. If the river dries, this land would not return to its original state. Earth's surface is also susceptible to erosion by wind and glaciers.

How does gravity cause erosion?

Gravity plays a significant role in erosion by pulling various materials, such as rocks, soil, and sediment, downhill or towards bodies of water. This movement, known as mass wasting, can lead to erosion as the materials are transported, worn down, and deposited in new locations. Gravity also influences the speed and intensity of erosion processes, ultimately shaping landscapes over time.


How does erosion effect wind?

erosion doesn't effect wind, wind causes erosion


What are the processes of erosion?

Gravity


What are processes of erosion?

Gravity


How is gravity differ from all other agents of erosion?

no erosion


What are the four agents of erosion?

The four agents of erosion are water, wind, ice, and gravity. Water erosion is caused by rivers, streams, and rainfall. Wind erosion occurs when wind carries and deposits sediment. Ice erosion is caused by glaciers moving and carving the land. Gravity erosion involves materials being pulled downhill due to gravity.


What is the agent of erosion on cliffs?

The agent of erosion on cliffs mostly is gravity.


What are the 4 major types of erosion?

The four major types of erosion are water erosion (caused by runoff and water flow), wind erosion (caused by wind moving particles), ice erosion (caused by glaciers and ice melt), and gravity erosion (caused by gravity moving rocks and soil downhill).


What is the movement of rock by wind and water and gravity?

The movement of rock by wind is called "aeolian" erosion, by water is called "fluvial" erosion, and by gravity is called "mass wasting" or "gravity-driven" erosion. These processes contribute to the shaping of Earth's surface over time.


Is gravity a force of erosion?

Gravity is an agent of erosion... I'm not quite sure if it is erosion. In the science textbook I have right in front of me it says and I quote, "Gravity, running water, waves, wind and glaciers are all causes, or agents, of erosion. Although it says it's an agent of erosion it doesn't say it is erosion. An agent is a "cause" of something.


Does an erosion effect people?

What are the affects of a erosion


How does gravity differ from other agents of erosion?

gravity is pulling the rock materials down by its force but agents of erosion is changing of rocks
