This is easy. So basically, there are plates of the Earth's crust moving around, and that is why continents are moving around. When two continental plates collide, then since the two plates are of the same density, they both lift Each other up. For Example, the Himalayas are made by the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate because they are convergent, or they are ramming into each other.

Hope this helps.:)

If the sum of the vertical forces on an object is zero, then the object moves vertically at a constant speed (which could be zero, or any other constant number).


How do internal and external forces cause changes to Earths surface?

Most common change to the Earths surface from internal forces would most likely be earthquakes and volcano eruptions. External forces could be considered meteor strikes, or possibly the effects of gravity on the oceans ( Tides ) Global warming is also melting glaciers and causing a growth in arid regions. kapm


How does earths tilt affect sunlight?

The earths north and south pole are directly effected in terms of sunlight because of the earthes tilt.
