Tornadoes alter an area quickly, usually in a matter of seconds. However these effects are generally limited to vegetation and man-made structures. The ground itself is only significantly affected in the most extreme cases.

What are two natural factors that change earth's surface slowly and two natural factors that can change earth's surface rapidly?

Two natural factors that change Earth's surface slowly are weathering (breaking down of rocks into smaller pieces) and erosion (transport of sediment from one place to another). Two natural factors that can change Earth's surface rapidly are volcanic eruptions (depositing new material and altering the landscape) and earthquakes (shifting land quickly due to tectonic forces).


Do erosion and weathering change the earth slowly?

Yes, erosion and weathering change the Earth slowly over time by breaking down and wearing away rocks and soil. These processes can be influenced by factors such as climate, geology, and human activities, resulting in gradual changes to the landscape.


What are five adverbs of tornadoes?

Adverbs commonly used in discussion of tornadoes include: rapidly, slowly, briefly, explosively, suddenly.


Which has more energy to cause erosion quickly moving water or slowly moving water?

Quickly moving water has more energy to cause erosion than slowly moving water. The faster the water moves, the more force it exerts on the landscape, picking up and carrying sediment and debris more efficiently. This increased force leads to more rapid erosion of the land.


Did granite cool slowly or quickly?

Granite cools slowly underground, allowing for the formation of larger crystals. This slow cooling process contributes to its coarse-grained texture and characteristic patterns.
