How do rock and soil move downhill?

Gravity constantly pulls on everything on Earth, including rocks. When rocks are weakened and broken apart by weathering, gravity will pull them downhill. Gravity will also cause rocks to fall when a hillside or cliff is undercut by a river or waves along a shoreline, or when rock material and soil become saturated with water.
