Imagine a table cloth held on by each corner above the ground. This is the universe. Put an apple on it. This is a planet. The apple makes a dent. This is gravity. Put grapes on the cloth. These are smaller planets. They are drawn to the apple. Put a soccer ball on the cloth. This is a very large planet. Everything moves towards it. Gravity.

What is the balance of buoyancy and gravity called?

The balance of buoyancy and gravity is called equilibrium. It occurs when the upward force of buoyancy on an object is equal to the downward force of gravity acting on it, resulting in a state of balance or stability in a fluid.

Why does water runoff the surface of the earth?

This occurs because of gravity. Water runs from the highest places (mountains and plateaus, or where rainfall occurs) to the lowest point, into the ocean.


What does the term zero gravity mean?

Zero gravity refers to the phenomenon experienced in space where the effects of gravity are greatly reduced, making objects and individuals appear weightless. This occurs when an object is in free fall, such as in orbit around Earth. Objects can still have weight in zero gravity, but they do not feel the force of gravity acting upon them.


Is a mass movement called a gravity occurs when sediment suddenly slips downhill in one large mass?

No, a mass movement occurs due to the force of gravity acting on sediment or rock material, causing it to move downhill. This movement can happen slowly over time or more rapidly as in landslides or rockslides. The mass movement is a result of the force of gravity on the material rather than being called a gravity.


What is mass movement cause by?

Mass movement is caused by gravity. (: also occurs when tectonic plates shift


Is static cling an example of Newton's Law of Gravity?

No, static cling is not an example of Newton's Law of Gravity. Static cling is a phenomenon that occurs due to static electricity, while Newton's Law of Gravity describes the force of attraction between two masses due to gravity.
