Weathering is the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals on Earth's surface. Once a rock has been broken down, a process called erosion transports the bits of rock and minerals away. Water, acids, salt, plants, animals, and changes in temperature are all agents of weathering and erosion
The slipping or sliding surface of parts of the Earth's surface is known as a fault line. This is where movement occurs along the surface of the Earth, resulting in earthquakes.
Wegener's theory that the continents slowly moved over Earth's surface became known as the theory of continental drift.
The all the water on Earth's surface is known as the hydrosphere. This includes water in oceans, rivers, lakes, and ice caps.
About 15% of Earth's surface is covered by the taiga biome! :)
The name given to a portion of the Earth's surface is known as a region or area. Regions can be defined by physical characteristics, such as climate or landforms, or by human characteristics, such as culture or economic activities.
Weathering is also known as the breakdown of rocks and minerals at the Earth's surface through processes like mechanical weathering (physical disintegration) and chemical weathering (chemical decomposition).
The "crust" or biosphere
This is known as the epicentre.
Magma that reaches the Earth's surface is known as lava.
The study of Earth's surface landforms is known as geomorphology.
This is known as the epicentre.
Lava.
A depression on the surface of the Earth created by groundwater is known as a cone of depression.
The rock that forms on earth's surface is extrusive rock or otherwise known as a metamorphic rock.
No, it's known as erosion. Corrosion is the weathering of things like metal and glass.

the water cycle - evaporation it sucks all the water back up into the earths surface also known as the hydrosphere.
