Evaporates, returning the atmosphere until it becomes saturated, at which point it will return to the ground as rain.
the sun's heat energy causes surface water on the earth to change into water vapor.
The Sun.

I would expect that the most rapid changes to the Earth's surface would result from the impact of a comet striking the Earth.
Erosion from weathering owes it's power source to the sun. The weather causes rocks to be newly exposed at the surface. Heat from the Earth's interior causes molten material to rise to the surface, creating new rock.

Earthquakes or volcanic activity can change the surface of the Earth.

From the core of the Earth and plate tectonics.
Weathering
The Sun.
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.
The sun and uneven heating of the earth's surface causes all the weather.
The sun's energy causes the hydrosphere to evaporate from the surface of the earth
