How does gravity effect erosion?

Erosion changes Earth's surface by moving and depositing weathered materials.

Erosion changes the earth's surface by providing a different landscape that reacts to natural occurrences. For example, as a river erodes the land below it, it becomes deeper and creates a river bank. If the river dries, this land would not return to its original state. Earth's surface is also susceptible to erosion by wind and glaciers.
