Slow changes on the earths surface?
Some examples of slow changes on Earth's surface include erosion of rock formations by wind and water, the gradual shifting of tectonic plates resulting in the formation of mountains, and the weathering of rocks through exposure to the elements over time. These processes can take thousands to millions of years to significantly alter the landscape.
What is a true statement about how the Earth's surface is changing?
The Earth's surface is always changing. It changes through slow processes and rapid processes. Some slow processes are weathering and erosion. Other changes are rapid processes, such as volcanic eruption, landslides and avalanches, and earthquakes.
What thing causes sudden changes to the earth's surface?
I can think of four things that cause sudden changes to the earth's surface: Impact of a large object from space (such as Meteor Crater in Arizona), earthquake, volcanic eruption or explosion (Krakatoa is a prime example), and nuclear explosion (the atomic bomb caused very sudden and complete change to Hiroshima and Nagasaki). Every rain shower causes some change to the earth's surface, but I think you were asking about more dramatic examples.
What is the idea that geologic change happens suddenly?
The idea that geologic change can happen suddenly is known as catastrophism. This theory proposes that Earth's geological features are mainly a result of sudden, short-lived, and violent events, rather than gradual processes over time. While some catastrophic events like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions can cause rapid geologic changes, most changes on Earth's surface are the result of slow and continuous processes such as erosion and sedimentation.
Are changes on earth slow or fast?
Changes on Earth can occur at different speeds depending on the specific processes involved. Some changes, like the movement of tectonic plates, can be relatively slow, taking millions of years to significantly impact the planet's surface. On the other hand, natural events like volcanic eruptions or earthquakes can lead to rapid changes in a short period of time.
What are some changes in earth's surface that are slow?
The global warming!

How do construtive and destrutive force change your earth?
The surface of the earth changes. Some changes are due to slow processes, such as erosion and weathering, and some changes are due to rapid processes, such as landslides, volcanic eruptions, and earthquakes.

What are some changes in earth's surface that are due to rapid processes?
Landslides shifting terrain, pyroclastic flows, volcanic explosions, flooding, meteor impacts.

What are some slow changes to the earth?
The breakup of the super continent of Pangea would be a slow geological process, occupying a few hundred of million years. This breakup and reforming has created a series of super-continents. Perhaps four or five in the history of the Earth.

What are some common rock on the surface of the earth?
Shale, sandstone, limestone, basalt, and granite are fairly commonly exposed on the surface of the Earth.
Is it cold on the surface of earth?
I'm not sure if you're being serious or not, but yes, in some places it is cold on the surface of the Earth. :D
What are some things that can cause fast changes to Earth's features?
Some fast changes are like earthquakes and hericanes
