Gravity is not a major influence in the decomposition of a rock, unless the rock
falls off of a cliff.
The main process consists of water seeping into tiny cracks in the rock, then
expanding as it freezes.
Well, if you want to stretch it, I guess you could give gravity the credit for making
the water seep into the cracks.
What else can I help you with?
When a rock tumbles down a hill what is the cause and effect?
The cause of the rock tumbling down a hill is gravity pulling it downward. The effect is the rock rolling or sliding down the hill due to the force of gravity acting on it.
What are some forces that might affect a rock as it tumbles down a hill?
A force hit the rock which made it roll down the hill.
Which force balances gravity on a rock on a hill?
The force that balances gravity on a rock on a hill is the normal force exerted by the surface of the hill on the rock perpendicular to the slope. This force prevents the rock from sliding down the hill due to gravity.
Does gravity cause a rock to roll down a hill?
Yes, gravity is the force that pulls the rock downhill, causing it to roll. The steeper the slope of the hill, the greater the gravitational force acting on the rock, which accelerates its movement.
What are the main forces acting on falling rock?
Gravity and air resistance.
What natural activies work to break down rock?
water, wind, waves, and gravity
How does gravity contribute to erosion?
Weathering can break up rocks on a slope or cliff. Then gravity will then pull the weathered rock down the slope or cliff. Erosion is the moving of weathered rock. Gravity would be moving the weathered rock down the slope or cliff.
How does rocks break down?
It when water goes into the rock and then the water freezes and break the rock
How does gravity break down rocks?

Does licheon produce an acid that will break down a rock?
Yes, lichens can produce acids to break down rock.
What is the force that's pulls rock and soil down slopes?
Gravity
When a rock tumbles down a hill what is the cause and effect?
The cause of the rock tumbling down a hill is gravity pulling it downward. The effect is the rock rolling or sliding down the hill due to the force of gravity acting on it.
What force pulls rock and soil down slope?
Gravity is the force that pulls rock and soil down a slope. As materials become loosened, gravity causes them to move downhill due to the force of gravity acting upon them.
What is plants which make substances that break down rock?
Plants which make substances that break down rock are called lichens. Lichens are known to release acids that break down rocks.
What are some forces that might affect a rock as it tumbles down a hill?
A force hit the rock which made it roll down the hill.
How is gravity constructive and destructive?
it can pull objects down and break them.
The force that pulls rock and soil down slopes?
Gravity
