Natural forces such as wind, water, and ice can move rocks and soil through processes like erosion. Human activities like construction and mining can also move rocks and soil when heavy machinery is used.
Infiltration is the movement of surface water into rocks or soil through cracks or pore spaces.
Water that travels through soil and rocks is called groundwater. It is an important source of freshwater for drinking and irrigation.
It is called an earthquake when rocks and soil in the Earth move suddenly due to the release of energy along fault lines.
It is called infiltration, which is the process of water entering and moving through soil and rocks. This is an important part of the water cycle as it replenishes groundwater and helps sustain plant life.
Natural forces such as wind, water, and ice can move rocks and soil through processes like erosion. Human activities like construction and mining can also move rocks and soil when heavy machinery is used.
As it flows above and underground, it comes into contact with rocks and soil, where minerals are eroded of the rocks or soil and dissolve into the water.
Glaciers pick up rocks and soil as they move across land. When the glaciers melt, they deposit the rocks and soil. Today there are ridges of rocks and soil where glaciers once were.

Those can be numbered from one to ten; 1 being the best. 1. Soil 2. Water 3. Rocks
Even raindrops can start erosion that can move rocks by first moving tiny particles of soil and starting paths for tiny rivulets that can become streams. The faster water in streams can pick up larger objects and move them. The action of moving water can also cause particles of suspended sand to abrade rocks and sediments, corroding and displacing them until the rocks are no longer held in place. Water that collects in cavities or cracks in underlying substrate expands when it freezes, moving rocks by upward or lateral pressure from the expansion of the ice.
the plant roots move around in the soil and soak up the water. then the water travels through the plant.
Plants and animals are the biotic (living) factors and soil, sand, gravel, rocks and water are abiotic (nonliving) factors.
