Question

Water and gravity work together to erode soil, sediment, and rock. Give two examples...

Answer 1

Mass wasting events, such as rockfalls, landslides, slumps, creep, etc., are all gravity-powered modes of sediment transport

Answer 2

Gravity can cause water to move down and carry sediment and rocks along the bottom. if the water slows down, it drops the rocks and if it floods a field then the grass will also filter smaller particles out leaving fine sediment behind. In addition to it the fast flow of water can cause erosion, over time it can cause valleys as well.
