Erosion wears down the rocks and dirt making sand and other sediments, the ground will decay because of erosion
I am 12 so don't take my word for it but i am pretty sure it is the correct answerer

∙ 12y agoIn short: in many ways:
- Rivers carve the landscape by forming channels for themselves.
- Rainfall causes the dissolution of limestone and some mineral cements. In caves these sediments are deposited as stalactites and stalagmites.
- Frozen water (ice) carves the landscape as a glacier, forming distinct U-shaped valleys.
- Sea/ocean tides and waves cause coastal erosion
Water also causes weathering in various forms. All these factors cause major changes in the surface of the earth.

What does geographical change mean?
A geographical change means one which occurs to the land and its features. This can be a result of natural events like flood or erosion which slowly eat away at the Earth's surface.
How is wind erosion different then water erosion?
In one, the sediments are carried by the wind and are usually fairly small. In the other, the sediments are carried by moving water and the sediment size can be quite diverse.
What is the gravity on the moon lo?
About 0.183g, where one g is the earths gravity, so about one fifth of the earths gravity. It is similar to our own moons surface gravity.
What substance changes from one state of matter to another at temperature and pressure experiencing earths surface?
Your question makes no sense. What substance changes from one state of matter to another (that is the first part and makes sense) at temperature and pressure experiencing earths surface? What on earth does that mean? pressure experiencing earths surface? What could it possibly mean? I really have no clue what you are trying to ask in the second part of the question. The first part however may give a clue to what you actually mean to ask. Maybe you mean "What substance changes from one state of matter to another at the temperature and pressure experienced on earths surface?" But using that as the question, there are literally hundreds or even thousands of correct answers. Here are a few Water, a liquid, changes to ice, a solid, and to steam, a gas and back to water Iodine can change from its solid form to a gas Ammonia can change from a liquid to a gas Freon can change from a liquid to a gas phosphorus can change from a solid to a gas gasoline, ether, liquid petroleum gas, naphtha, acetone, acetate all change from a liquid to a gas at atmosphere pressure at earths surface. Sodium changes from a solid to a gas. Hope this helps answer your question.
How can wind change earth?
wind can change the earths surface by eroding material from one location and placing it in another (the dust bowl of the early 1900's was a vivid example of this) it can also blow particulates against rocks formations eroding them and causing many of the odd structures you see in the desert.
What is one way that the earths surface can change slowly?
The earth's surface changes through erosion, due to wind, water, vegetation, ice or temperature
What is a major cause of erosion on earths surface?
one major contributor is moving water
Which can change from one state of matter to another at the temperature and pressures experienced at earths surface?
water
What are slow changes on earths surface?
plate tectonics are one of the many slow earth change (helpers)
What does geographical change mean?
A geographical change means one which occurs to the land and its features. This can be a result of natural events like flood or erosion which slowly eat away at the Earth's surface.
Its a appositive this question wind can create alterations in the surface layers of rocks wind is one cause of erosion?
Wind can create alterations in the surface layers of rocks, and wind is one cause of erosion.
Does deconstructive forces such as erosion help build up the Earth's surface?
Yes, erosion in one area can help build up the earth's surface in another area.
How can wind and gravity change Earth's surface?
Water is a major cause of weathering and erosion which will break down rocks and then transport them somewhere else.there is something called erosion and it makes the mud,sand,rocks, and more go down stream
How much of earths surface is covered in land?
About one third of the land surface of the earth is desert.
How do rocks changeover time?
Heat and pressure inside the earth and weathering and erosion on the surface of the earth cause rocks to change from one type to another over time.
By what process are surface materials removed and transported from one location to another?
Erosion is the process of surface materials and their transport.
What is One half of a spere that makes up the earths surface?
Hemisphere
