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.
Why do astronomers put telescopes in space?
The Earth's atmosphere is about 120 miles thick and anything we see from the surface of the Earth is distorted by the water vapor and debris that is in the air. If you are in space you do not have this distortion. The Hubble Telescope is a good example of space based telescopes.Scientists have put telescopes in space to avoid interference by the atmosphere.SOURCE:-Page 560 of Holt Science & Technology Earth Science-Chapter 18-Studying Space-Section 2- Telescopes-Optical Telescopes in Space

How does weathering and erosion shape earths surface?
Weathering and erosion shape earths surface by changing earths surface by having extreme forces that change earth.
What gathers information that can not be seen from earths surface?
There are a number of orbital telescopes, the most famous being the Hubble, as well as robotic probes, the Mars lander and so forth, that gather information that cannot be obtained from the Earth's surface. The far side of the moon, which is never seen from the Earth's surface, has been photographed.
