Gravity

Gravitythe force of attraction by which terrestrial bodies tend to falltoward the center of the earth.

Wind
Windair in natural motion, as that moving horizontally at anyvelocity along the earth's surface.

Water
Watera transparent, odorless, tasteless liquid, a compound of hydrogen and oxygen, H 2 O, freezing at 32F or 0C andboiling at 212F or 100C, t hat in a more or less impure stateconstitutes rain, oceans, lakes, rivers, etc.

Glaciers
Glaciers-an extended mass of ice formed from snow falling and accumulating over years and moving very slowly, eitherdescending from high mou ntains, as in valley glaciers, or movingoutward from centers of accumulation, as in continental glaciers.

Wind Erosion
Wind Erosionthe erosion, transportation, and deposition of topsoil by the wind,especially in du st storms.

Water Erosion
Water ErosionWater erosion is the removal of surface material such as soil due to water flowing over it. Much of water erosion that affects us is caused by rain. Our landscapes and houses can be destroyed if too much surface material is washed away by rain.

Wave Erosion
Wave ErosionWaves in oceans and other large bodies of water produce coastal erosion. The power of oceanic waves is awesome, large storm waves can produce 2000 pounds of pressure per square foot. The pure energy of waves along with the chemical content of the water is what erodes the rock of the coastline. Erosion of sand is much easier for the waves and sometimes, there's an annual cycle where sand is removed from a beach during one season, only to be returned by waves in another.

Glacial Erosion
Glacial EveryoneMovement of soil or rock from one point to another by the action of the moving ice of a glacier. Also known as ice erosion.

Rocks
Rocksa large mass of stone forming a hill, cliff, promontory, or the like.

Soil
SoilThe portion of the earth's surface consisting of disintegrated rock and humus.

Mud
Mudwet, soft earth or earthy matter, as on the ground afterrain, at the bottom of a pond, or along the banks of a river; mire.

Effects on Landforms
Effects on LandformsThe effects of landforms vary depending on what and where they are. Some, like cliffs, mountains and rivers help form borders between countries, counties, states and so on. Things like deltas and water falls provide fresh water and new soil to downstream areas.
