Natural factors such as volcanic eruptions, changes in the Earth's orbit, and the amount of energy released from the Sun have affected the Earth's climate. Human activates associated with the Industrial Revolution have also changed the composition of the atmosphere and therefore are likely influencing the Earth's climate.
For over the past 200 years, the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and deforestation have caused the concentrations of heat-trapping "Greenhouse Gases" to increase significantly in our atmosphere. These gases prevent heat from escaping to space, a bit like the glass panels of a greenhouse.

∙ 10y agoActually there are many factors involved in changing the earth's surface. It can change because of Volcanic action, wind erosion, weathering of rocks, Heat and pressure etc. These natural actions can break rocks and mountains into pieces, carry rocks to different places, form new layers of land etc and thus result in changing the surface.

When Earths surface is heated it radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as?
When Earths surface is heated it radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as "Infrared Radiation."
What are some examples of landforms that have formed on earths surface?
Volcanoes
What are some limitations of geothermal energy?
you have to be in a surtain place were the magma is close to earths surface
The theory of plate tectonics affirms that?
The theory of plate tectonics affirms that the Earths surface is structured into different layers of which movements continuously takes place in some parts. Its tells us that the earths continents and seas were once a whole body but separated and migrated over time.
How do water erosion effect the earths surface?
Some streams or rivers can go really fast through plateaus and stuff, on the way they can wash the sediments and rocks that were there before. This causing erosion.
Why are some currents cold and some warm?
there are some warm currents as they flow along the earths surface while there some cold currents as they travel below the earths surface

Why are some density currents warm and others cold?
there are some warm currents as they flow along the earths surface while there some cold currents as they travel below the earths surface
What are some examples of landforms that have formed on earths surface?
Volcanoes
Why are warm currents warm and cold currents cold?
there are some warm currents as they flow along the earths surface while there some cold currents as they travel below the earths surface
What covers the earths surface?
mostly water. There are some continents on there too though i believe.
What are some limitations of geothermal energy?
you have to be in a surtain place were the magma is close to earths surface
What refers to to water that flows over earths surface?
If you are talking about land above sea , then it would be called run off, because when precipitation falls , whether it is rain or snow , at some point it usually makes its way from the land to the sea via flowing over the surface of the earth.
Where do you experience more gravity on earths surface or earths center?
on the surfaceNote:Since the earth's composition is not homogeneous, the gravitational acceleration onthe surface is probably less than what it is some small distance below the surface,but it's certainly greater than at the center.
What are some advantages of using a globe to show earths surface?
One advantage to using a globe is that you can more accurately determine distances than you can with a flat map. Flat maps distort the spherical surface and that distortion can be significant over long distances.
Part of a meteroid that strikes Earths surface?
Part of a meteoroid that strikes earth's surface is known as a meteorite. These are some of the bodies that are found in outer space.
How does volcanic ash in Earths atomosphere affect solar radiation?
It blocks (some of) it from reaching the surface of the Earth.
