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.

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


How does gravity work with wind to cause erosion?

The force applied by wind can overcome the force of gravity to move objects from their existing position. Erosion has occurred. As soon as gravity predominates over the wind, the object is deposited. The erosion has been halted.


What is the driving force behind all agents of erosion?

Gravity is the driving force behind all agents of erosion. If there is no gravity, rain will not fall and running water will not happen. Similarly, wind, glacial activity and waves are driven by gravity.


What force and what can contribute to both erosion and mass wasting?

gravity and movement


What force and what cause contributes to erosion and mass wasting?

gravity and movement


What force is mainly responsible for the erosion and deposition that happens in landslidesmudslidesand rockfalls?

Gravity is the main force responsible for causing erosion and deposition in landslides, mudslides, and rockfalls. When the force of gravity overcomes the resistance of rocks or soil, these mass movements occur, leading to erosion and deposition of material downslope.


Is gravity alone a weak or strong force of erosion why?

GRAVITY- may be the weakest force of nature, but it acts on all materials and in all places


What agents of erosion are in part caused by the force of gravity?

Agents of erosion caused in part by the force of gravity include mass wasting processes such as landslides, rockfalls, and slumps. Gravity acts as a driving force for these processes by pulling loose material downhill.

Is gravity a form of erosion?

The Earth's gravity is the force that keeps our feet firmly on the ground. It has nothing to do with erosion, which is mainly caused by weathering - wind, sun, water, and ice.


What is the driving force for erosion?

the driving force for erosion is , when bad things come out of driving that involves erosion.
