I believe it changes, as the faults which are composed of crust slip past eachother, on occasion causing fractures in Earth's surface. It could just be a small crack, or maybe a huge trench.
it melts the earths surfes
There is convection, when two plates push towards each other and diverging when the pull apart. There are two kinds of plates that can go through these types of motions as well, continental and oceanic. (the land and oceans of course.)
When two continental plates come together (or convect) it creates mountains. When two oceanic plates convect, it creates underwater volcanoes and treches on the ocean floor. Now when a oceanic plate and a continental plate converge, it creates treches on the ocean floor close to the continental plate and a volcano starts at the edge of the continental plate.
Now with diverging, any kind of plates can move, and will produce a volcano.
There is also the motion of a Transform boundry, (When to plates slide side-ways) which causes Earthquakes.
The movement of the crust is because of the movement of the tectonic plates.These tectonic plates floats on the surface of the mantle.As the crust ,ie,the tectonic plates move the landforms above it it also moves .however this rate is very slow,around 3-4 cm in a year.The movement of the tectonic plates can sometime bring about eartquakes,tsunamis and other natural disasters .this movement of he earths crust led to the continental drift theory.
it causes new mountain ranges, valleys and even sinkholes
Earthquakes and volcanoes. you'll have to find out why by yourself cuz it will take me too long
The movements within the Earth's crust can effect the Earth's surface in many ways. However, the one that significantly impacts humans and industrialized civilization especially is when two plates slide together to cause earthquakes- which can lead onto tsunamis; like the recent Japanese earthquake and devastating tsunami.

How does earths surface and the structures on the surface change as result of an earthquake?
The surface of the Earth can be changed by resulting from outer space, like from a meteor strike.

How does movement of fault change earths surface?
Movement along a fault can cause earthquakes, which can result in the shifting or displacement of rocks in the Earth's crust. This can lead to the formation of new landforms or changes in the landscape, such as valleys, mountains, or even the creation of tsunamis in coastal areas. Over time, repeated movement along faults can contribute to the overall evolution of the Earth's surface.
What is the slowest to change earths surface?
The slowest-changing feature on Earth's surface is likely its tectonic plates, which move at a rate of a few centimeters per year. This movement can result in slow changes in topography and the creation of mountains or ocean basins over millions of years.
What forms as a result of the water table meeting Earths surface?
a spring
How does energy from earths interior cause changes to earths surface?
Energy from Earth's interior, in the form of heat, drives processes such as plate tectonics which cause volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and the creation of mountains. The movement of molten rock in the mantle creates pressure that can result in geological activities like crustal uplift, faulting, and magma intrusions, leading to changes in the Earth's surface.
What causes the shaking of the earths surface caused?
The shaking of the Earth's surface, known as an earthquake, is caused by the release of energy from the Earth's crust due to tectonic plate movement. This movement can occur along fault lines, where stress builds up and is suddenly released, creating seismic waves that result in shaking.
Shock waves that are felt on the earths surface as the result of faulting in the Earth's crust?
earthquakes :)
What are winds a result of?
high winds are normally caused by the unequal heating of the earths surface.
How are two ways that the movement of earths plates change the surface of earth?
The movement of Earth's plates can cause earthquakes, which result from the sudden release of energy along fault lines, altering the landscape and creating new geological features. Additionally, the collision of tectonic plates can lead to the formation of mountains, as seen in the Himalayas, where the Indian and Eurasian plates meet.
How does energy in earths interior cause changes to earths surface?
The energy from the core of the earth causes currents in the molten layers, the way there are currents in the ocean. These currents are what causes the Tectonic Plates to move along the surface of the earth.
What happens if the earths crust moves suddley along a fault?
The sudden movement could result in an earthquake.
