gravity
What are some examples of the erosion?
Wind erosion - dust storms, sand movement in desertsWater erosion - rivers (grand canyon), sea,Gravity erosion - land slides
Can you describe 3 ways how mass movement may occur?
Some of the types of mass movement and triggers : Flows : Volcanic Eruption -- Lahars from volcanic ash and debris in rivers Heavy Rains -- Loose soil slides down a rock slope Liquefaction -- earthquake shakes fine layer of underground silt, ground slides away Landslides : Undercutting -- erosion by streams or ground water Loose Rocks -- earthquake starts dirt and boulders rolling down a hill Creep : Subsiding -- Soil held by plants slowly inches its way down a steep slope Slump : Ocean erosion -- Undercut sea cliffs can shear off as a block and slide downward
Which agent of erosion causes a rock slide?
Gravity causes rock slides
What do mountains do when erosion happens?
when mountain undergoes erosion it begins to form rock slides and avalanches. If it is a volcano the is a chance it would erupt into a BOOM!

What is a rolling presentation?
A rolling presentation is a slide show that once started does not need the slides changed manually they change on a timer to fit what the presenter is saying.
What does moraine mean?
an accumulation of boulders, stones, or other debris carried and deposited by a glacier.
How does clear-cutting affect erosion?
The trees are cut down and can fall over on slopes, which will cause mud slides or even affect the mountain.
