What events cause gradual changes of the Earth's surface?
Earth quakes, weather erosion and tectonic plate movement.
What slow processes cause changes in the earth's surface?
erosion is the most obvious. there are also earthquakes (the movement of tectonic plates) and you may not think of it as slow but volcanoes as well.
Can thunderstorms cause earthquakes?
No they can't. Earthquakes have nothing to do with the weather. They are usually caused by abrupt movement of the tectonic plates that 'carry' the surface of our planet.
What does the asthenosphere cause?
Scientists speculate that the movement of tectonic plates is created by the movement of the rigid lithosphere on the asthenosphere.
What is the main cause for earthquake activity in the ring of fire?
Tectonic Plate movement

Which forces come from inside the Earth and cause sudden changes to its surface?
Gravitational force Tectonic force Diastrophism
Can thunderstorms cause earthquakes?
No they can't. Earthquakes have nothing to do with the weather. They are usually caused by abrupt movement of the tectonic plates that 'carry' the surface of our planet.
How does energy from earths interior cause changes to earths surface?
due to volcanics effects and movement of earth which affect the earth surface
What activities can cause earthquake?
The movement of tectonic plates.
What is the cause of most earthquakes?
the movement of tectonic or lithoshereic plates
What forces are thought to cause plate tectonic movement?
Convection currents (the movement of magma beneath the plates)
What is mass movement cause by?
Mass movement is caused by gravity. (: also occurs when tectonic plates shift
What does the asthenosphere cause?
Scientists speculate that the movement of tectonic plates is created by the movement of the rigid lithosphere on the asthenosphere.
What are most earthquakes cause by?
moving tectonic plates on earths surface
How is movement cause?
Tectonic plates are moved by hot lava under the crust.
