The main force that affects the rocks on the earth's surface is heat and erosion. Erosion causes rocks to have landslides and heat changes their structure causing them to take place as different structures.
How does weathering and erosion change moons surface?
Because the moon has neither liquid water or an atmosphere on its surface, there is very little weathering or erosion. Any weathering or erosion that does place is caused by repeated meteorite impacts, which break up and scatter the rocks and dust on the Moon's surface.

How do rocks or comets are cause to crash into moons surface?
rocks and comets are attracted by moons gravity, so they crash
What happens when rocks go to the surface?
Erosion.
How does water effect erosion?
The water loosens the rocks. Then it knocks over other rocks. Then that causes an erosion
Is gravity the force that causes rocks to change shape and size?
No, its erosion that causes rocks to change
What causes the breakdown of rocks?
WEATHERING and EROSION
What is in glaciers that causes erosion?
water and rocks salts
What causes the formation of different crystals?
rocks
What are three things that are on the moons surface?
