For which movement of earth materials is gravity not the main force?

4. All of the others involve downhill travel, so gravity encourages the movement of the material. The evaporation of moisture from an ocean results in water vapor being dispersed into the air, and is mainly due to the thermal motion of gas molecules (some of the rising of the water vapor is due to gravity, because water vapor is lighter than air and will be buoyant).
