What causes the moon to have valleys?

Why do mountain streams have V-shaped valleys?
Mountain streams have V-shaped valleys because of the erosive force of running water. The water flowing in the stream wears away the rock and soil in the valley through processes like abrasion and hydraulic action, creating a downward sloping V shape. This erosion deepens and widens the valley over time, forming the characteristic V-shaped valleys seen in mountainous regions.
What is the process that causes rocks on the earths surface to change crumbling mountains and widening valleys?
The process that creates valleys and causes changes on the surface of mountains is called erosion. Erosion is most commonly caused by wind and water. A great example of erosion is the Grand Canyon.
In what ways are tectonic plates responsible for building features on the earth's surface?
Tectonic plates, in and of themselves, are not responsible for building many of the features we see on the Earth's surface, such as mountain chains, rift valleys, and escarpments. The underlying forces creating these features we see in the Earth's crust are gravity and heat, part of the all-encompassing theory of plate tectonics. It is the collision, scraping, stretching, folding, uplift, and volcanism that accompanies the movement of the lithospheric plates that causes these surface features.
What causes landforms and oceans features to change?
erosion
Why do meandering rivers occur in humid areas?
Meandering characterized a river's course when its flow begins to slow. Meanders form when slight irregularities in the flow cause the moving water to be directed towards a bank. This bank then erodes and at this point the river gets wider and the flow slows causing sediment to be deposited against the opposite bank. Eventually the process causes a large bend in the river and the river develops meanders.
What causes changes in car safety features?
Typically lawsuits
How erosion effect on Earth?
creates landscape features such as valleys, and plains reduces the height of mountains over times starts the creation of sedimentary rock such as sand stone, causes land slips, changes the clarity and nutrient content of water, creates soil, changes nutrient content of soil. the list goes on...
