In short: in many ways:
- Rivers carve the landscape by forming channels for themselves.
- Rainfall causes the dissolution of limestone and some mineral cements. In caves these sediments are deposited as stalactites and stalagmites.
- Frozen water (ice) carves the landscape as a glacier, forming distinct U-shaped valleys.
- Sea/ocean tides and waves cause coastal erosion
Water also causes weathering in various forms. All these factors cause major changes in the surface of the earth.

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 running water change the earths surface?
It can change
What is the process that causes rocks on the earths surface to change crumbling mountains and widening valleys?
The process that creates valleys and causes changes on the surface of mountains is called erosion. Erosion is most commonly caused by wind and water. A great example of erosion is the Grand Canyon.
How the way in which wind and moving water reshape earths surface?
Wind and moving water reshape the Earth's surface through the process of erosion.
How does surface water affect the Earth's surface?
By wearing at the bank of ocean,river,or lake(erosion).
Does water erosion effect the earths surface?
yes
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 a river change earths surface through erosion?
It changes because the force of the water and because the bank is loose and dry from the erosion. The bank will move which ever way the water is flowing.
How can water change earth?
Water changes the earths surface by it running across the land and picking it up and carrying away. The faster the water the more erosion. Erosion is the picking up and carrying away of rock material.
What are the 4 forces that cause rocks on earths surface to break down?
Water erosion
How does running water change the earths surface?
It can change
What is a major cause of erosion on earths surface?
one major contributor is moving water

How the way in which wind and moving water reshape earths surface?
Wind and moving water reshape the Earth's surface through the process of erosion.
How long have water ice and wind effected the erosion of earths surface?
Since the begining of time.
Which process are pieces of rock material being moved over earths surface by water and wind?
The process is called erosion.
How does surface water affect the Earth's surface?
By wearing at the bank of ocean,river,or lake(erosion).
