Answer to Question #107491 in Physical geography for Brightchrist Mmari

Question

justify the statement that gravity controls both slow and rapid movement of materials

Answer 1

That is true. As we know, free-falling objects will increase their speed for 9.8 m/s each second. If some resistive forces like friction are present, the acceleration due to gravity may decrease. Therefore, rapid and slow mass wasting is a result of the presence of gravity. Rockfalls, avalanches, mudflows, and landslides are just some examples of these.
