What are slow changes on earths surface?

Examples of slow changes on Earth's surface include weathering of rocks over time, erosion of land by water and wind, and gradual movement of tectonic plates. These processes can take thousands to millions of years to significantly alter the Earth's surface.


How are earth's surface changed by both slow and fast?

Slow changes to Earth's surface, like erosion and weathering, occur gradually over time due to processes like wind and water erosion. Fast changes, like volcanic eruptions and earthquakes, can reshape the landscape in a short period by releasing energy stored within the Earth's crust. Both slow and fast changes play significant roles in shaping Earth's surface over time.


What can cause a slow change to the earth's surface?

Processes such as weathering, erosion, volcanic activity, and tectonic movements can cause slow changes to the Earth's surface over time. These processes gradually shape and reshape the landforms we see today.


What do we call a measure of height above earths surface?

Height above earths surface is called elevation


How does energy from earths interior cause changes to earths surface?

Energy from Earth's interior, in the form of heat, drives processes such as plate tectonics which cause volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and the creation of mountains. The movement of molten rock in the mantle creates pressure that can result in geological activities like crustal uplift, faulting, and magma intrusions, leading to changes in the Earth's surface.
