The core of the earth is magma. When the magma reaches the surface of the earth, the magma becomes lava and turns into molten rock due to the surface temperature. Thus, land is formed. If your country doesn't have volcanos, it's most likely underwater somewhere (:
This is usually referred to as sedimentation. The particles fall from a hillside to the bottom and pile up or a stream carries them to an area where the water slows either because of the curves of the stream or the widening of the stream and the particules fall to the bottom and build up.
A different process called abduction happens when the mantle shifts and the rocks are pushed up from below. California has these upheavals of land during some earth quakes.
Sedimentation is a slow process, relatively.
Abduction is a very rapid change in the land profile changing.
lastly of course there is volcanic lava being pushed up and out over the land performing profile change too.
I believe it's laccolith - NovaNet
The Earth's surface looks the way it does because of the way the wind, water, and the tectonic plates move under the surface. They have shaped the surface into what it is today through millions of years of change.
how have the earth's physical processes shape of the earth's landforms, climate, and plants life
true
ask powers
The shifting of Tectonic Plates.
have physical processes shape the landscape of Asia is by the WRONG TURN:(

Erosion and deposition shapes the Earth's surface.
It is the agent of erosiion that has shaped by earths land surface.

Slow geologic processes and catastrophic events
No , you tell me the answer I don't know it , please :) thank you
Nope... you're describing a tornado.
