Rock can be worn down by physical and chemical weathering. One physical way can be seen at beaches. Rocks are worn down by the constant waves which propel abrasive materials against the rocks constantly. One chemical way is by acid rain. Rain is acidic because atmospheric carbon dioxide dissolves into the rain water.

∙ 15y agoThere are multiple ways the earth's surface can erode however the 2 largest ways are though water and wind. Water erosion is caused by the water taking off thin layers of sand, dirt, and rock as well as smashing small pieces of rock and sand against the ground and sides. Water itself is also slightly acidic thus overtime eroding the rock away.
Wind erosion picks up the small pieces of sand and rock and smash them against the rock and ground, breaking off more small pieces, these pieces can repeat the process eventually eroding it away.

What are two ways in which glaciers erode Earth's surface?
When glaciers form they scrape earth's surface as they advance. Also when glaciers melt it deposits the sediment it eroded from the land creating various land forms.
What is 2 ways that glaciers erode the land?
abrasion and plucking
What are two ways the movement of earths plates changes the earths surface?
Its Tectonic Activity
What ways do glaciers change earth surface?
They smooth earths surface
What ways are resources brought up from under Earth's surface?
what are three ways resorce are brought up from under earths surface

In what ways do glaciers chage earth surface?
it smoothed rough surface.
What are two ways in which glaciers erode earth's suface?
By water and the sheer weight of the glacier carving mountains as it slides down.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of the each ways of showing earths surface?
by turning them around.
The ways Which extrusive and intrusive igneous rocks are formed?
extrusive- when melted rock material coools on earths surface instursive-when the melt cools below earths surface
When does an arête form?
Arêtes can form in two ways. They can form when two glaciers erode parallel U-shaped valleys, or they can form when two glacial cirques erode headwards toward one another, although frequently this results in a saddle-shaped pass, called a col.
