∙ 11y agoEverything in the Universe changes over time, the Earth's surface is no exception.
The forces acting on the Earth cause the changes, These forces include:
- the weather which gets it's energy from the Sun
- the tides which get energy from the Sun and Moon
- tectonic motion which gets energy from inside the Earth, from radioactive decay and residual heat left from the formation of the planet.
