Gravity Explain how each of the contributing factors would play a role in the collapse of the ledge.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for factors that could contribute to the collapse of a rock ledge, specifically looking for possible answers among wind, water, ice, and gravity. The second part of the question requires an explanation of how each of these factors plays a role in the ledge's collapse.
Answer
Wind, Water, Ice, Gravity
The contributing factors are wind, water, ice, and gravity.
Answer for screen readers
The contributing factors are wind, water, ice, and gravity.
More Information
Wind can cause erosion by abrasion, water can erode and weaken rock through chemical weathering, and ice can cause freeze-thaw weathering. Gravity contributes by pulling loose material downward, causing collapses.
Tips
A common mistake is underestimating the role of each factor. Ensure you understand how each factor contributes to weathering and erosion processes.
