What events cause gradual changes of the Earth's surface?
Earth quakes, weather erosion and tectonic plate movement.
What is one cause of a landsilde and avalanches?
Slight tectonic plate movements
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.
What is the main cause of a landslide?
tectonic movements coupled with a slope greater than the angle of inclination can cause a landslide
How does transform plate boundary changes the earth's surface?
over the last 20 million years the tectonic plates had moved so much the continents has separated :(
Which forces come from inside the Earth and cause sudden changes to its surface?
Gravitational force Tectonic force Diastrophism
What events cause gradual changes of the Earth's surface?
Earth quakes, weather erosion and tectonic plate movement.
What is a cause for a volcano?
Tectonic activities, (Earths internal movements).
What is one cause of a landsilde and avalanches?
Slight tectonic plate movements
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.
What are most earthquakes cause by?
moving tectonic plates on earths surface
How does energy in earths interior cause changes to earths surface?
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.
What is the main cause of a landslide?
tectonic movements coupled with a slope greater than the angle of inclination can cause a landslide
Changes in air pressure cause movements of air called?
Wind.
How does transform plate boundary changes the earth's surface?

Processes that cause surface changes on Earth?
folding
Where are tectonic plates located?
The entire crust (or outer layer) of the planet Earth is composed of plates, and the movements of those plates are described by the science of plate tectonics.
