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.
How does flood water and low gravity affect erosion and deposition?
Flood water can accelerate erosion by carrying away large amounts of sediment and debris. In low gravity environments, such as on Mars or the Moon, erosion is typically slower due to reduced impact forces of flowing water. Deposition in flood waters is influenced by gravity, with heavier particles settling out first, while in low gravity environments, sedimentation may be less pronounced.
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.

What is the agent of erosion on cliffs?
The agent of erosion on cliffs mostly is gravity.

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
