For an introductory college-level physical geology class: a review of how gravity contributes to erosion and deposition in landscapes across the planet. The video reviews the variety of ways in which the land can move due to the force of gravity and the landforms that result, such as scarps and talus slopes. Review includes rock fall, soil creep, rock avalanches, landslides, slumps, and flows. Content within is based on information available in any standard introductory college geology textbook, such as Essentials of Geology -- Tarbuck and Lutgens -- Pearson Publishing.
