what is the downslope movement by gravity called ????

I think you mean mass wasting.   Mass wasting, also known as mass movement or slope movement, is the geomorphic process by which soil, regolith, and rock move downslope under the force of gravity. Types of mass wasting include creep, slides, flows, topples, and falls, each with their own characteristic features, and take place over timescales from seconds to years

It is downhill from start to mouth using sea level. However, there are rivers that do flow uphill at times. The continental divide is the reason for it. All water flows Easterly East of the continental divide. All water will flow Westerly West of the continental divide. I've been there and seen it, weird. \n\nAnother explanation would be the rotation of the earth. The water would be "pulled" toward the equator, where the largest mass of the earth's body would be.

It's called 'retrograde' and it is has to do with how the orbits of Earth and Mars differ. Here's a good source for you, \nhttp://www.astro.uiuc.edu/projects/data/Retrograde/\nhttp://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/allabout/nightsky/nightsky04.html

Yes, but you notice the rubber ball is going slower now. Its because part of the momentum has been transfered from the ball to the sidewalk (eventually tranfered to the Earth itself).  This is called transfer of momentum.

It is called continental drift.  Check out wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continental_drift

This is usually called tidal friction.\n\nThe gravitational flux between two bodies is simply the well-know gravitational equation.  Calculating the heat absorbed/lost by a planet is another much more complicated matter.  There are several mathematical models used, but since some constants aren't well-known, the models usually have a large amount of error.  These are problems that people get Ph.D's just for doing a small amount of work on them, so they're not simple or easily solved systems.\n\nThe earth's oceans are currently assumed to absorb a lot of the energy, so it doesn't go directly into the Earth's crust.  \n\nSee the (vague) reference below.

it is a geological term define as deformation of the earth's crust

The centre of the earth is called CORE. Earth is like a big magnet as close u go to the magnet the magnetic power increases. So at the centre of the earth the gravity is maximum.\n\nSimple if we go up the gravity decreases and it inreases as we go down.\n\n\nNeo

I will take a wild guess that "heling" is really "helping".\n\nSince this is in general science, I will also assume that you are talking about Earth gravity only.\n\nA ball, like any other object within Earth's gravitational field, will be attracted to the Earth's center of gravity.  Meaning that if it is on a surface, it will roll downhill.  If it is not on a surface, it will fall.

because of the gravitational pull on the water, it comes down, not straight

The correct answer is C.  This is referred to as the rheological division of the mantle, as opposed to the chemical division (which puts the mantle into reservoirs such as MORB, HIMU, etc.)  The lithosphere behaves rigidly wheras the asthenosphere behaves plastically.

Yes - roll a ball down a hill. It has linear inertia (the balls center of mass moving down the hill) and rotational inertia (the ball is spinning while it moves down the hill).

Terminal Velocity.  It depends on the weight of the object because it is based on gravity.  If there is force applied to the object then it could travel faster for moments then gravity would slow it down.

In Britain, in a contradictory way, downs are ranges of hills. It's actually related to the word 'dune', meaning an undulating feature of land, and is not related to the directional meaning of down.

Not due to gravitational pull?!

It's not a gimmick, it's an illusion , the same as the mtatlic hill, you're going down but it looks lie uoi are going backwards,something to do with physics, ask the physic' pro's for the deep, lengthy answer, they're good!
