The erosive power of moving ice is actually a bit greater than the power of water but since water is much more common, it is responsible for a greater amount of erosion on the earth’s surface. Gravity causes erosion indirectly it can pull soil, mud, and rocks down cliffs and hillsides like avalanches or landslides.
