Bcouse they create erosion such as tsunami and tonadoes and floods

What forces shape the surface of the earth?
Geologic forces that shape the Earth are weathering and erosion (from wind, ice, water, and gravity) and the results of plate tectonics (volcanism, earthquakes, mountain building, subduction, crust creation).
Which geography theme is defined as things that shape the surface of the earth?
physical content <--novanet
How does an ant not sink in water?
It has neither the shape nor the weight to break the surface tension of the water.
What is the main function of microfilaments?
The function of microfilaments in the cytoskeleton is to bear tension (pulling forces). Also, they help support/form the cells shape.
What forces shape the moon's surface?
meteorites are one force when they impact. However, the key force acting on the moon is the force of gravity. The gravitational force is = G (m1 m2)/r2. Where G is the universal gravitational constant, m1 is the mass of one object, earth let's say, and m2 is the mass another object, say the earth. "r" is the distance between the two objects. The earth mass is larger, which is why it holds the moon in an orbit around itself. But the moon still effects the earth with tidal forces on the oceans and atmosphere.
What forces below earth surface shape landforms?
The tectonic plates below earths surface shape earths landforms
How does weathering and erosion shape earths surface?
Weathering and erosion shape earths surface by changing earths surface by having extreme forces that change earth.
In what ways can people be affected by the forces that shape earths surface?
In all possible ways. We are a part of earth, so with that, a little part of it's surface too.
What are some of the forces that shape the earths landscapes?
NO THANKYOU
How do tornadoes shape the earths surface?
Tornadoes do not effectively shape the earth's surface, they are too fleeting.
What are the two types of forces that shape the earths surface?
Mostly Volcanic activity and Earthquakes
How does the surface of the earth change when two continental plates collide?
The Earths surface changes shape when plates collide when the earths surface overlaps or when there are Earthquakes.
How do humans shape the world in which they life?
our activities, movements and settlements shape the Earths surface.
A feature of topography formed by the processes that shape earths surface?
Landform.
What Half of earths surface is called?
There is no such thing as half of the Earth. If you are referring to half of the spherical shape of the Earth then it will be a hemisphere.
What is weather erosion?
Weather erosion is where the weather effects the shape of the earths surface
What forces in earth help shape earth's surface?
the plates under earth's surface
