The question is formulated vaguely when dealing with physical systems containing water is it possible to use the description of hydrostatic. It assumes, that the system does not move, hence static. I.e. Hydrostatic pressure is the pressure that water exerts on an object.

Water causes the most erosion, and the most types of erosion, as well as weathering. Here are three forms of aquatic erosion:

  • Fluvial - Rivers - Meanders cause lateral erosion, and the Upper Course causes a lot of vertical erosion.
  • Marine - Oceans - Waves and tides cause Long Shore Drift which removes sediment from beaches. Waves also cause the erosion of cliffs.
  • Glacial - Glaciers - Glaciers pluck (pluck fragments from the rock face) and abrade (scrape or rub fragments against a rock face - forming striations).

I may be wrong, but there are to my knowledge four types of erosion, including these three. The other is Aeolian - erosion by the wind.

It isn't. But just like any other substance, it can exert a force, due to its weight.

Why does water stick to hand?

water exerts two types of force cohesive and adhesive force.Cohesive force exist between water molecules and adhesive force exist between water and other objects.therefore when our hand is dipped in water the adhesive force overtakes the cohesive force and thus water sticks to hand.Its same as the capillarity principle

What force allows water to arrive at your house from the water treatment plant?

The hydraulic force of water allows water to be transported in the pipes. Hydraulic force from the water treatment plant is used to pump the water vertically across the underground pipes. Then, another hydraulic force pumps the water from underground to the storey that you are living in horizontally up.
