•The key to erosion is something called "fluid flow." Water, air, and even ice are fluids because they tend to flow from one place to another due to the force of gravity. Of the three, liquid water is the most common agent of erosion because there's so much of it on the surface of the Earth .

What two agents of erosion cause slumps?

Water and gravity are the two agents of erosion that commonly cause slumps. Water infiltrates the rock or soil layers, reducing its stability, while gravity pulls the saturated material downhill, leading to a slump.


Define the term erosion and name the force that cause it?

Erosion is the process by which materials on the Earth's surface are worn away and transported by natural forces, such as water, wind, or ice. The force that causes erosion varies depending on the environment but commonly includes water (running water in rivers or ocean waves), wind, ice (glaciers), and gravity.


What ways can gravity cause erosion?

1 is that gravity can push water downhill (rivers) and make valleys or canyons.

Which of the following does not directly cause erosion A heat B gravity C wind D running water?

Agents for erosion and transporting sediments include gravity, wind, water (including currents), or ice. Sunlight and heating do not directly cause erosion, except through freezing and thawing (the opposite of heating).
