The underlying force behind all erosion is gravity. Gravity causes materials to be pulled downward, which can result in the movement of sediment and rocks through processes such as water flow, wind, or ice movement.

What is the Major force behind all types of erosion?

Water is the major force behind all types of erosion. It can wear away rock and soil through processes such as river erosion, coastal erosion, and glacial erosion. Wind and ice are also important erosional forces, especially in arid and cold climates.


What are the five nature agent erosion What is the driving force behind all of these agent of erosion?

The five agents of erosion in nature are water, wind, ice, gravity, and living organisms. The driving force behind all of these agents of erosion is the movement of Earth's materials caused by energy from the sun, gravity, and Earth's internal heat.


What is underlying force of all agents of erosion?

The underlying force of all agents of erosion is the energy from natural processes such as water flow, wind, ice, and gravity. These forces work to break down and transport rock and sediment from one place to another, shaping the Earth's surface over time.


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 is the underlying cause of all erosion?

Its gravity.


What is a destructive force on Earth?

weathering and erosion that is all i know


What underlying force causes all forms of mass movement?

interchangeable parts


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


Landslides rock Falls and creep are all examples of erosion and deposition by which erosion agent?

Gravity. Landslides, rock falls, and creep are all examples of erosion and deposition caused by the force of gravity pulling materials downhill over time.


Landslides rockfalls and creep are all examples of erosion and deposition by which erosion agent?

Landslides, rockfalls, and creep are all examples of erosion and deposition by gravity as the primary erosion agent. These processes involve the downslope movement of rock and sediment due to the force of gravity, leading to erosion and deposition of material on the Earth's surface over time.


What are all the forms of erosion?

All forms of erosion are weathering, mass movement, I am not positive if deposition is one of them. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong. If I am wrong I apologize in advance. ;)


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.
