The force applied by wind can overcome the force of gravity to move objects from their existing position. Erosion has occurred. As soon as gravity predominates over the wind, the object is deposited. The erosion has been halted.

What and what work together to constantly wear down and carry away rocks on the surface of Earth?
Usually it is erosion by natural elements (wind, rain, excessive water), or chemicals (natural chemicals will break down all elements in a matter of time).

How do funfair rides work?
A chain pulls the car to the top of the hill then gravity takes the rest. A chain pulls the car to the top of the hill then gravity takes the rest.

wind current!
Does hypertension cause left ventricle to work less?
No,
How weathering and erosion work together?
how can water and gravity work together to erode soil, sediment, and rock
What climate does wind erosion work best?
Innn my assshollleeee
How does wind work as an agent of erosion as well as an agent of deposition?
Erosion is defined as the movement of material from one place to another place. Wind, although the weakest agent of erosion, is still able to move sand, silt, and clay particles without too much effort; with increased speed, wind is capable of knocking down buildings. When the wind that is carrying material loses velocity, it reaches a point where it can no longer overcome the force of gravity, and the material stops its movement. If the material no longer moves, it has been deposited. Even in this scenario, the major agent of deposition is gravity.
What are three things that cause erosion and deposition?
Below are the four agents of erosion, so take what you need:Fluvial erosion - rivers mainly. Rivers erode by hydraulic action, abrasion, attrition and solution. Deposition occurs because the river has run out of energy, or energy is low.Marine erosion - oceans and seas. These erode by hydraulic action and abrasion mainly, as the ocean has great sheer force. They do not transport much material, as most of the work is done by gravity, so most material is left directly under where it came from, but separate nonetheless.Glacial erosion - glaciers. Glaciers erode by plucking and abrasion, then deposit the moraine (glacial load) at the snoutAeolian erosion - wind. Wind erodes mainly by blasting sediment at rocks, which is classic abrasion. Sediment is often deposited as a dune.All agents of erosion cause both erosion and deposition as ultimately all eroded material is deposited.
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 do weathering and erosion work together to shape Earth's surface?
Wheathering breaks down rocks and erosion transport it away by wind,rivers,sea
What natural activies work to break down rock?
water, wind, waves, and gravity
Does the wind blow down or up?
The wind can blow in any direction.
Would a kite work in space?
No, kites need both wind and gravity to work.. and neither of those are in space.
How does soil erosion happen?
Erosion occurs when the soil breaks because of strong water discharge during heavy storm. Wind is also a primary cause of erosion when it blows hard enough on unprotected soil to lift and move it away. Ocean waves, river currents, and glacial movement also erode large amounts of rock and soil. Actually, the erosion occurs because of the impact of the fluid particles on to the surface of the solid materials which are subject to this fluid flow, and in a fluid flow the amount of fluid volume per time unit. For example, L/S (Litre per second) defines the speed of the fluid element impacts. The power of this impact will increase if the direction of flow is more perpendicular to the surface. However, the amount of erosion also depends on the inherent forces between molecules of materials which are subject to fluid flow. As an example, in an elbow in a piping element, where the vector direction of the flow changes, there are more impacts and then more erosion occurs. In this situation, if we increase the flow speed, the erosion rate will increase.
Does earth's gravity cause mass movement?
Yes, waterfalls, river flow, and landslides would all be examples of gravity at work.
