Erosion is the term which describes the movement of rock particles by gravity, ice, water, or wind. The process in question takes time and yields irreversible results, as in the case of the much shorter, human-guided composting process.

Is gravity rock?
Gravity is a force, not a rock. (the previous answer was erased for rudeness)
Downhill movement of large masses of soil or rock under the influence of gravity?
The answer is erosion. This includes the chemical and solution break up of rocks, and their transport to another place. Aerial erosion is the process of moving sand and dusts by wind. Fluvial erosion is the same process but carried out by water, and this can move much larger particles. And the coasts are subject to erosion by the waves and the salt.
What is the movement of surface water into rock or soil through cracks and pore spaces?
percolation
What is sandblasting of rock by wind-blown particles?
Sandblasting of rock by wind-blown particles is referred to as abrasion. It is the process of scraping or wearing away of rock particles.
How do you beat rock aris?
My Gravity Perseus sent Rock Aries flying so Gravity Perseus beats Rock Aries.But at the same time it broke Gravity Perseus a little but it still survived.
What is the movement of rock by wind and water and gravity?
Erosion
What is the movement of rock particles by wind water ice or gravity chemical or mechanical?
im not techanily sure! probably chemical, the dog says so!
The movement of weathered rock material?
The movement of eroded rock particles by wind, water, ice, and gravity is called erosion.
What process involves the removal of rock particles by wind water ice or gravity?
The process of removing rock particles by wind, water or ice is called erosion. This can also be the removal of enamel from teeth by acid (acid erosion). To be more precise, this is weathering process of the rock where in the rock is broken into small particles by natural forces like wind, water, ice or gravity to get it eroded.
What is the movement of rock particles by water ice or gravity?
Erosion. Weathering is the physical and chemical breakdown of rock. Erosion is the removal of of weathered sediments. Transport is the movement of weathered sediments (say in suspension in river water) during the erosion process. Deposition is the laying down of the transported sediments in a new location.
What process changes rock to soil?
erosion 1.The process of expansion and contracting due to heat and cold 2. Abrastion from wind blown particles, water movement and gravity downward movement 3. Absorbtion of water and freezing causing internal expansion
What the movement of rock particles by wind water ice or gravity?
Erosion. Weathering is the physical and chemical breakdown of rock. Erosion is the removal of of weathered sediments. Transport is the movement of weathered sediments (say in suspension in river water) during the erosion process. Deposition is the laying down of the transported sediments in a new location.
What causes the soil and rock particles to fall?
When the ground thaws, the force of gravity causes the soil and rock particles to fall back down. But they fall vertically, toward the center of Earth. The result is movement downhill.
What is the meaning of the scientific term abrasion?
It means the grinding away of a rock by rock particles carried by water, ice, wind, or gravity.
What is the movement of rock particles by wind water ice or gravity?
Erosion. Weathering is the physical and chemical breakdown of rock. Erosion is the removal of of weathered sediments. Transport is the movement of weathered sediments (say in suspension in river water) during the erosion process. Deposition is the laying down of the transported sediments in a new location.
What is the word for the movement of fragments of rocks?
Erosion is the term used to describe the movement of rock particles via wind, water, and ice.
Mass wasting is the downhill movement of soil and rock debris caused by what?
Running water :) wrong, its GRAVITY
