The constant interaction between rocks and external forces like weathering, erosion, and tectonic activity can change the Earth's surface. However, the fundamental composition and structure of rocks themselves cannot be changed by external forces other than extreme conditions like high pressure and temperature in the Earth's interior.

How do you turn into a rock?

It is not possible for a person to turn into a rock. Rocks are inanimate objects made up of minerals and do not have the ability to change into living beings.


How is the earth land surface shaped and reshaped?

The Earth's land surface is shaped and reshaped primarily through processes such as erosion, weathering, volcanic activity, and tectonic plate movements. Erosion by water, wind, and ice breaks down rocks and shapes the landscape over time, while tectonic movements can uplift, fold, or fault the land surface. Volcanic activity can create new landforms through lava flows and volcanic eruptions.


Why cant you use most of the Earths water?

Most is salty sea water. Well acually most of earths water is ocean water (which is sea water and very salty) but if we pay for pumping system to take the salt out it will cost alot of money so that is one answer but another is that half of earths water is locked away in big glaciers we cant get to......


Why cant scientist drill into the earths core?

Scientists cannot drill into the Earth's core because it is too deep, hot, and under immense pressure. The deepest hole ever drilled, the Kola Superdeep Borehole in Russia, only reached about 7.5 miles (12 kilometers) deep, which is nowhere near the Earth's core at about 4,000 miles (6,400 kilometers) below the surface. Additionally, the extreme temperatures and pressures at the core would make drilling further impossible using current technology.
