Erosional Forces

How does gravity work as an erosional force? Please give specific examples.

  1. it pulls down the rock and sediment like a land slide.

  2. Erosion is the natural process (often accelerated by humans) by which rocks, soils, and sediments are weathered away and moved across the landscape by wind, water, ice, gravity and the activity of animals.

  4. Gravity is an erosional force because when rocks tumble they break.

  5. Wind, water, and ice are the three agents of erosion, or the carrying away of rock, sediment, and soil. Erosion is distinguished from weathering — the physical or chemical breakdown of the minerals in rock. However, weathering and erosion can happen simultaneously. Erosion is a natural process, though it is often increased by humans’ use of the land. Deforestation, overgrazing, construction, and road building often expose soil and sediments and lead to increased erosion. Excessive erosion leads to loss of soil, ecosystem damage, and a buildup of sediments in water sources. Building terraces and planting trees can help reduce erosion.

  11. Gravity provides the pull to draw water down after it is condensed in the atmosphere - when rainfall occurs in high places, gravity is the motive force to cause water flows which erode mountains. - See more at: http://www.chacha.com/question/how-does-gravity-affect-erosion#sthash.gBlehEdq.dpuf

  15. Gravity pulls down on rock on mountains. And it works as an erosional force by making land slides which is erosion because it is moving the rock down.

  16. Gravity pulls down the rock to earths surface and can cause mud slides or land slides.

  17. Gravity provides the pull to draw water down after it is condensed in the atmosphere. Some examples are creep and mudslide.

  19. Because rocks get pulled down by gravity and they fall and break.

  23. gravity works as a erosional force by either creep slump rock falls and rockslides and mudflows. These all involve gravity pulling rocks down.

  36. Gravity aids erosion or other precipitation as a result of constant downward pressure inserted on the bare ground. This process weakens soil aggregates so that single soil particles are splashed, rise above the surface and scatter from the point of effect to another.

  37. When a rock falls of a larger one on top of a hill, gravity pulls it down the hill and erodes it.

  39. Gravity helps all of the erosion agents and all of the processes. For example, water, wind, ice, mass movements, slump, creep, rockfalls, and mudflows.
