... As snow falls onto a glacier, its weight packs the snow and turns it to ice. Then gravity pulls on the glacier so it slowly grinds its way down the slope. This contributes to mass wasting, which is a form of erosion. Gravity’s role in deposition is to make the sediment fall to the ground or the bott ...
