yes. the grand canon, which developed relatively quickly, took about 6 million years, having been eroded, principally, by the waters of the Colorado River. However, it reached nearly to its present depth by about 1.2 million years ago. The sun, Wind, and rain, of course, have played their parts as well.

Unless one is referring to different spots on the surface of the earth, THEN it may be changing rapidly as well as gradually

Which the theory views the earths surface as composed of slowly moving plates?
Plate tectonics.
What is slow cooling magma far beneath earth's surface?
The slow cooling of magma far beneath earth's surface creates the rock inside earth to change slowly... this means that earths surface changes in times because of this cooling magma.
Explain the seasonal changes seen on the surface of mars in terms of changing of state?
On mars there is so hot and slowly slowly it get very hot
What is the force that slowly wears away at rocks?
Weathering, or erosion changes the Earth's surface slowly over time.
Where does molten rock cool slowly?
Because the surrounding materials are nearly the same temperature as the molten rock material.
What best describes the earths surface?
all ofthe changes on earth surface occur slowly
What is one way that the earths surface can change slowly?
The earth's surface changes through erosion, due to wind, water, vegetation, ice or temperature
How does weathering erosion and deposition change earths surface?
Weathering and erosion change Earth's surface by slowly wearing down the substance. Deposition changes the surface of earth by deposting; eroding away the surface. Glad to help! -Angela
