The earth's surface would look like what it is now except with no more new volcanoes, no more volcanic eruptions and no more earthquakes or natural disasters.

What are processes that expose plutons to earth's surface?
Plutons can be exposed to Earth's surface as a result of uplift and erosion. ~Meag
How does a uplift to the Earth's surface make sedimentary rock?
The uplifted surface is then subjected to weathering and erosion, resulting in the deposition, compaction, and cementation of sediments which creates sedimentary rock.
What is the last to form in a cliff layer 1 or layer 4?
Cliff formation generally involves erosion, uplift or faulting. Example of erosion: Grand Canyon cliffs associated with the erosional forces of the Colorado River. Example of uplift: Mountain formation with steep sided cliffs as in the Himalayan Mountain Range. Example of faulting: The East African Rift Zone.
What is the rising of regions of earths crust?
uplift
Does erosion cause mountains to rise?
In a way, yes. Erosion of the mountain rock by wind, water, ice and gravity makes the mountain lighter. The loss of mass will cause it to rise due to the effects of isostatic equilibrium. If the mountain is rising due to plate tectonic collision, erosion may not be great enough to prevent a rise in elevation. However, if the plate collision effects are reduced or halted, the entire mountain will rise from uplift, but be reduced in elevation due to erosion. In this manner, a mountain could eventually be uplifted and reduced in elevation to sea level.
Can you describe the process that wears down and builds up the earths surface?
weathering, erosion, deposition, and uplift
What 3 processes act together to wear down and build up earths surface?
Uplift replaces rocks on Earth's surface lost the process of erosion.

What is the rising of earths crust to higher elevations called?
Mountain building
Is granite below or above the surface?
Granite forms below the surface, but it can be found at the surface where it has been exposed by erosion or uplift.
What process did James Hutton propose replenishes the rock on Earths surface?
Uplift
