Do compression and tension affect the thickness of earth's crust?

Compression and tension can indeed affect the thickness of the Earth's crust. Compression can thicken the crust by folding and faulting, while tension can cause stretching and thinning of the crust through processes like rifting and faulting. These tectonic forces play a significant role in shaping the Earth's crust over geological time scales.

Compression is a force that changes earths crust by?

Compression is a force that changes Earth's crust by causing rocks to squeeze together. This can result in the bending, folding, or faulting of the crust as the rocks are pushed and deformed. Over time, compression can lead to the formation of mountain ranges.

On which layer of the earth would you find landforms?

Landforms are found on the Earth's uppermost layer, called the lithosphere. The lithosphere includes the solid outer crust of the Earth and the rigid upper part of the mantle. This is where geological processes like plate tectonics shape and form landforms such as mountains, valleys, and plains.
