Describe one way that earthquakes can change earth's surface rapidly?
By causing landslides or floods.
Are there any landslides on earth?
Whadda Think?
Can landslides be caused by plates in the earth moving?
Indirectly. The movement of tectonic plates is the cause of the majority of earthquakes. Earthquakes can cause landslides.
How does gravity cause landslides?
Gravity is a force everything on Earth is influenced by. The usual causes of landslides are earthquake, heavy rainfall, and the felling of trees on steep slopes.
What kind of weather occurs on earth?
Every kind of weather happens on earth, from droughts and heat waves to blizzards and cyclones.
How does droughts affect the earth?
they affect the earth by not giving any water to the animals and plants!
Describe one way that earthquakes can change earth's surface rapidly?
By causing landslides or floods.
What are the fast changes on Earth?
Floods, volcanic eruptions, and landslides are all examples of rapid changes at the surface.
How does geology help us?
It helps us by teaching things about planet Earth such as landslides, earthquakes, floods, and volcano eruptions
How do destructive forces affect earth's surface?
Destructive forces affect the Earth because a destructive force is a process in which Earth's landforms are broken down by: weathering, erosion, landslides, volcanic eruptions, earth quakes, and floods. Rivers keep eroding the land under neath it so it keeps going farther and farther down. (That's how the Grand Canyon was formed).
What changes take place on the earth surface?
Volcanoes and earth slides are two ways that earth's surface change quickly.
How do floods affect the earth's surface?
by killing people and destroying houses
How do floods affect the spheres of the earth?
While floods are sometimes catastrophic, most will have little or no impact on the spherical nature of the earth. It would take a worldwide flood to have that kind of effect.
How can sudden events effect earth?
at a short timIt affect earth because it changes earth surface. Large floods can even cause alots of erosions e.
What force on earth causes landslides?
Gravity

How do scientists predict a drought?
redicting the size, location, and timing of natural hazards is virtually impossible, but now, earth scientists are able to forecast hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, wildfires, and landslides using fractals.
