The movement of sediments is...

Describe Friction

Friction - is moving the opposite direction of a push or pull, it can slow moving objects down. Bumpy or rough surfaces result in more friction.

Rock breaking down is

Describe how gravity works, and draw a model!

Gravity pulls all objects towards the surface of the earth.

How did the grand canyon form?

First layers of sediment had to build up over thousands of years of deposition. THEN weathering and abrasion by water and wind carrying sediments broke down the rock, carved a pathway, and eroded sediments to a new place.

The force that opposes gravity is called

normal
