Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers:

Gravity is responsible for erosion by flowing water and glaciers. That’s because gravity pulls water and ice downhill. These are ways gravity causes erosion indirectly. But gravity also causes erosion directly. Gravity can pull soil, mud, and rocks down cliffs and hillsides. This type of erosion and deposition is called mass wasting . It may happen suddenly. Or it may occur very slowly, over many years.

 Choices:

- kinetic

- electromagnetic

- weight

- gravity
