If you are asking the meanings of these words, I believe this is your answer:

  • Volcano: a feature caused by extrusive igneous action, which may have originally been a mountain. The volcano erupts igneous material, including pyroclastic material, ash, bombs and, of course, lava
  • Erosion: the wearing away and taking away of rocks
  • Weathering: the wearing away of rocks in situ
  • Mass movement: the movement of a large amount of material down a slope. This comes in the form of landslides mostly, but includes other similar phenomenons. This may occur quickly as a landslide, of may just be land creeping slowly downhill

I hope this answers your question.

What role does gravity play on weathering?

Gravity contributes to weathering by pulling materials downhill, increasing the force of weathering processes such as physical erosion and mass wasting. Gravity also influences the movement of water and ice, which further aids in the breakdown of rocks through erosion. Overall, gravity plays a crucial role in shaping landscapes through weathering processes.


What moves rock materials across the surface of the Earth?

Rock materials are moved across the Earth's surface primarily by processes such as erosion, weathering, and mass wasting. Erosion, caused by water, wind, or ice, wears down rock and transports it to new locations. Weathering breaks down rocks into smaller pieces, while mass wasting involves the movement of larger chunks downhill due to gravity.

What is the name of disintegration and dissolving of surface and subsurface rock erosion mass wasting land mass denudation weathering?

Weathering is the process in which materials are broken down either chemically or physically. Weathering and erosion are commonly confused. However, erosion is the transport of material that has been previously eroded. Therefore, the answer is weathering.
