Question

answer the following question in the space provided. 14 how can water and gravity work together to erode soil, sediment, and rock? give two examples. then explain how water can deposit soil, sediment, and rock.

Explanation:

Water can erode soil, sediment, and rock by flowing and carrying particles. Gravity pulls the water - laden with particles downwards. For example, in a river, water flows downhill due to gravity. As it moves, it picks up and transports soil and sediment. When the water slows down, such as in a floodplain or delta, the particles are deposited. Another example is in a waterfall, where water falling due to gravity erodes the rock at the base.

Answer:

One example is a river flowing downhill due to gravity, picking up soil and sediment as it moves and depositing them when it slows down. Another example is a waterfall where the falling water due to gravity erodes the rock at the base.
