How do events such as tornadoes hurricanes volcanic eruptions earthquakes and flooding rapidly change the surface features of the earth?

Volcanoes can build mountains fairly quickly, and destroy them even faster. They can form new lakes, and islands, and just as easily make them disappear.
Flooding can change the courses of rivers and wash away terrain. Tornadoes can level forests ans strip away vegetation.

How has technology changed the way hurricanes and tornadoes are studied?
Satellites allow us to track hurricanes at sea and study previously unseen features. Doppler radar allows us to directly track winds and precipitation in hurricanes, tornadoes, and potentially tornadic storms.
What are the main features of a hurricane?
Strong wind, heavy rain, and storm surge. Even weak tornadoes with landfalling hurricanes.
Do hurricanes have weather geological or human causes?
Hurricanes are produce by weather phenomena, though geologic features can influence them.
Are geological features created by rhyolitic magma Rhyolitic magma promotes eruptions?
Lava domes are large geological features created by rhyolitic magma. Rhyolitic magma promotes plinian eruptions. Plinian eruptions can happen very quickly and shoot lave several miles into the air.
What features classify a large-scale weather event?
2 large-scale weather events that I can think of would be hurricanes and tornadoes. In order for a tropical storm to be a hurricane, it must sustain winds of 75+ MPH. Hurricanes are classified by category on the saffir Simpson scale. Should a hurricane have sustained winds of 156+ MPH, that would be considered a Category 5 Hurricane. Tornadoes are classified on the Fujita scale based on the amount of damage the tornado causes and the wind speed that the tornado reaches.

What are the main features of tsunamis?
a series of waves, produced by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, meteorite impact, or underwater landslides.
Why does tornadoes happen in the gulf of Mexico?
Tornadoes do not happen IN the Gulf of Mexico. Tropical storms and hurricanes happen in the Gulf of Mex, but not tornadoes. Tornado-like features over water are called waterspouts.
How do the earths processes change and renew the physical features of your planet?
Volcano eruptions and earthquakes shape and reshape the earth continuously also other climate effects like storms and hurricanes form different shapes along the shore line. Edit: Also there is the huge effect of "plate tectonics" (which is involved in volcanoes and earthquakes too, of course).

What is tornadoes most destructive features?
their wind speeds

What are features forms at divergent boundaries?
volcanoes and earthquakes

What land features are formed from a sliding boundary?
>faults >earthquakes
Surface features of Neptune?
The Great Dark Spot, hurricanes, and swirling clouds.
