Earth's surface is subject to the slow but immutable changes due to plate tectonics. The action of water, wind and other weather affect the earth. Note that weather is generally considered to be sun-driven. The affect of the tectonic-spawned actions of vulcanism, earthquakes and tidal waves has an impact. Things visiting from space can make a difference as well.
The weather, meteor and asteroid impacts, and plate tectonics cause changes in the surface features of the Earth.
What else can I help you with?
This is rarely found on earth because earths surface is constantly changing?
Meteorite craters.
What is processes that break down rock at earths surface?
Denudational processes, which includes, weathering, erosion, deformation, and exfoliation. Mass movement also plays a great role in changing the earths surface.
How does weathering and erosion shape earths surface?
Weathering breaks down rocks into smaller pieces, while erosion transports these pieces to new locations. Over time, these processes can create features like valleys, canyons, and coastlines, shaping the Earth's surface.
Is earths surface in constant motion?
Yes, Earth's surface is always in motion due to tectonic plate movements, which cause earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the creation of mountains and ocean basins. These movements are driven by the heat generated from Earth's core, leading to a dynamic and ever-changing surface.
What is the role of man in changing the land surface?
Major, and almost always destructive.
What percent of the earths surface is the US?
100
How much of earths oceans cover earths surface?
70% or 80% of water covers the earths surface
Does the outer core cover earths surface?
No the crust covers earths surface
Why are map projecters needed?
to draw the earths surface.
Why are there are almost no extrusive ultra basic rocks in earths crust?
There are almost no extrusive rocks on the earths surface because they are all under the earths surface. They are mainly lower than the earths surface.
What forces below earth surface shape landforms?
The tectonic plates below earths surface shape earths landforms
What is the processes that break down rock at earth surface?
Denudational processes, which includes, weathering, erosion, deformation, and exfoliation. Mass movement also plays a great role in changing the earths surface.
