How does energy from earths interior cause changes to earths surface?
due to volcanics effects and movement of earth which affect the earth surface
What cause earth topography to change?
topography of earths surface changes because of the turbulence of water.In which this turbulence causes the formation of a new topographic sketch in earths surface.
What change earth surface?
Convection currents beneath the tectonic plates of the crustal surface of the earth provide heat from the core in circular motions, and make plate boundaries move together from compressional forces at convergent boundaries, apart from tensional forces at divergent boundaries, and side by side from shear force at transform boundaries.
What are the process that cause earths surface to wear down?
