A sudden change on Earth's surface can be caused by natural disasters such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, or meteorite impacts. These events can occur unexpectedly and result in rapid and significant changes to the landscape.
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.
No, a landslide is a rapid mass movement of earth, debris, or rocks down a slope. It is not a slow process, but rather a sudden and violent event that can dramatically change the surface of the earth in a short amount of time.
A sudden change in geology refers to a rapid and significant alteration in the Earth's surface features or subsurface structures. This can be caused by natural events such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, or impacts from asteroids. These sudden changes can have profound effects on the landscape and ecosystems in the affected areas.
The immediate result of a sudden slippage of rocks within Earth's crust is an earthquake. This movement along faults causes seismic waves to propagate through the Earth, leading to shaking of the ground surface.
The sun's radiation heats the Earth's surface through a process called solar radiation. This heat causes water to change states by evaporating into water vapor, condensing into clouds, and eventually returning to the surface as precipitation.

Earthquakes or volcanic activity can change the surface of the Earth.
Sudden stratospheric warming does lead to cooling on the earth's surface. This occurs due the reversal of high altitude winds that causes them to flow westward instead of eastward. This results in a reduction of the Earth's surface temperature.

Erosion of surface features.

water evaporating quickly from earth's surface and condensing quickly forming rain droplets.
The Sun heats Earth's surface through radiation. This heating causes water to change states from liquid to vapor through the process of evaporation.
