What surface feature of the Earth is most likely formed by the process of erosion?
deltas
What is the process that causes rocks on the earths surface to change crumbling mountains and widening valleys?
The process that creates valleys and causes changes on the surface of mountains is called erosion. Erosion is most commonly caused by wind and water. A great example of erosion is the Grand Canyon.
What is the most common cause of erosion in deserts?
Erosion is the process by which soil and rock are removed from the Earth's surface by natural processes such as wind or water flow, and then transported and deposited in other locations.While erosion is a natural process, human activities have dramatically increased (by 10-40 times) the rate at which erosion is occurring globally. Excessive erosion causes problems such as desertification, decreases in agricultural productivity due to land degradation, sedimentation of waterways, and ecological collapse due to loss of the nutrient rich upper soil layers. Water and wind erosion are now the two primary causes of land degradation; combined, they are responsible for 84% of degraded acreage, making excessive erosion one of the most significant global environmental problems we face today.
Which causes the most erosion Earth's surface?
It is water and wind comes in second. The water has to move all the soil and other things like that.
Why is water the most common agent of erosion?

What process usually causes the most gradual change in Earth's surface?
An earthquake
What is the psychical weathering?
Physical weathering is any process that causes erosion. Volcanic eruptions, wind, precipitation and earthquakes are the most common forms.
What type of erosion is the dominant type of earth?
The most dominant type of erosion on earth is running water.
What is the most destructive process of erosion?
Wind
Which type of erosion moves the most sediment on the earth's surface?
Glacier Erosion
Is the most effective agent of erosion.?
Gravity induced moving water is the most effective agent of erosion.

Which agent causes most of the erosion in derserts?
Running water
What process is most reasonable for the formation of a sea arch?
erosion
