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 are the practical applications of environmental geology?
There are many practical applications of environmental geology. Some applications include studying changes in the Earth's surface and managing natural hazards.
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.
Which two types of rock can form on the Earth's surface?
Some types of igneous and sedimentary rocks can form on Earth's surface.
What happens to the density of the air as air on the surface of the earth warms?
The sun heats the surface of the Earth, and some of this heat goes into warming the air near the surface.
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.
How is the surface of Venus' and earth alike?
Venus has a rocky surface,Earth some what does.

What is gravity survey?
If the earth had a completely smooth surface and all the components form which it was made were all evenly mixed up, then the force of gravity would be the same at all points on its surface. However the earth is not smooth , it has mountains and hollows in its surface and the rocks form which it is made are not evenly mixed, some surface rocks are heavy (dense) and some are light. This means that as compared to the theoretical smooth earth gravity field, the real earth gravity field varies from point to point over the surface. A gravity survey measures the small variations in the pull of gravity over the earth's surface and makes a map of these changes. This map helps geologists understand where the dense and light rocks are beneath the surface.

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 common rock on the surface of the earth?
Shale, sandstone, limestone, basalt, and granite are fairly commonly exposed on the surface of the Earth.
