Will a force of a deposition of sediments that builds up a delta most likely cause the surface of the Earth to change the quickest?

yes.
Some parts yes , however deltas are very small in comparison to the overall size of the Earths surface. Volcanoes are also responsible for radical changes , but again the Earth's a big place.

What role has moving water played in Earth's surface?
By weathering rock and carrying it away to different places. That process is called erosion. Then it deposits the sediments and builds, which is called deposition.
What role has moving water played in shaping Earth's surface?
this causes erosion
Can you describe the process that wears down and builds up the earths surface?
weathering, erosion, deposition, and uplift
What wears down and builds up earths surface?
Weathering, erosion, and deposition. Earth's surface could also be built up by volcanism.

Is deposition constructive or destructive?
It builds up on landforms and make them larger.
What is it called that builds up as layer after layer of sediments pile on top of each other?
Sedimentation.
What builds up layer after layer of sediments pile up on top of each other?
falling in water
This builds up as layer after layer of sediments pile on top of each other. it is necessary for the process of compaction?
Obsidian
How could the movement of sediments cause a problem if someone builds on a green hill?
it can fall down the hill or get buried.
How are buttes formed?
by erosion caring all of the dirt to one spot ,and by deposition droping the dirt to the ground ,then it builds up to for a butte
Describe how three processes act together to wear down and build up earths surface?
These processes destroy and build up different aspects of the landscape. Ex: Slump happens; picks up rock, deposits it somewhere else.
