Water is a major cause of weathering and erosion which will break down rocks and then transport them somewhere else.
there is something called erosion and it makes the mud,sand,rocks, and more go down stream

Is the surface of the sea is not level due to the tide?

There are a few things that cause the ocean surface not to be level. The small-scale variation or waves is caused by wind. The ocean level in various areas is also affected by wind patterns, ocean currents, variations in Earth's gravity, and the tides.


Why is there no erosion on the moon?

Because there is No GRAVITY! Well... yes and no... Yes: Solar wind erodes the lunar surface but the effect is almost unnoticeable. No: The moon has no atmosphere so there's no weather to cause 'typical' erosion. Because there isn't Gravity


Two external forces that change the earth's surface?

Two external forces that change the Earth's surface are weathering, which breaks down rocks and minerals at the Earth's surface, and erosion, which transports the broken-down materials to new locations through processes like wind, water, and ice.


What keeps gases from escaping into outer space?

The Earth's atmosphere is held in place by its gravity. Gravity pulls gas molecules towards the surface of the planet, preventing them from escaping into outer space. Additionally, the Earth's magnetic field also plays a role in protecting the atmosphere by deflecting solar wind and preventing it from stripping away the gases.


What is the reason footprints are on the moon?

Footprints are on the moon because astronauts from the Apollo missions walked on its surface. The moon's lack of atmosphere and wind means that footprints can last for a long time without being erased.

How does wind and water alter the Earths surface?

Wind and water and frozen water are the main contributors to the weathering and erosion of the surface of the Earth. Along with gravity, these agents wear down elevated surface features and fill in depressed surface features.

How does earth water change?

water can change the earths surface by breaking down rocks into sediment and then the wind blowing them to a different spot to change the earth.(An example is the Grand Canyon.)

How does wind ice gravity change the earth surface?

Wind can erode rock and soil, shaping the Earth's surface over time. Ice can carve out valleys and create landforms like moraines and cirques. Gravity causes erosion, landslides, and sediment deposition, altering the landscape.


What are solid particle that have been deposited on earths surface called?

Sediments is pieces of solid material that have been deposited on Earth's surface. The sediments have been deposited by wind, water, ice, gravity, or chemical precipitation.
