What is the process that causes rocks on the earths surface to change crumbling mountains and widening valleys?
The process that creates valleys and causes changes on the surface of mountains is called erosion. Erosion is most commonly caused by wind and water. A great example of erosion is the Grand Canyon.
Wind water and ice are causes of?
Wind, water, and ice are causes of weathering and erosion on Earth's surface. Wind erosion happens when wind carries and deposits sediment, water erosion occurs when flowing water wears away rocks and soil, and ice erosion occurs when glaciers and ice sheets move and shape the landscape.
Is erosion a necessary for the formation of igneous rocks?
No, erosion is not necessary for the formation of igneous rocks. Igneous rocks are formed from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava, which can occur below the Earth's surface or on the surface. Erosion can affect igneous rocks once they have been formed by breaking them down and transporting the sediments.
Uplift replaces rocks on Earth's surface lost to the process of .?
Uplift replaces rocks on Earth's surface lost the process of erosion.
Which force of nature causes the slowest change to the surface of the earth?
One of the slowest forces of nature that causes changes to the surface of the Earth is erosion, which is the gradual wearing away of rocks and soil by water, wind, and other natural elements. Over long periods of time, erosion can shape landscapes and alter coastlines.
What forces affect rocks above the earth's surface?
The main force that affects the rocks on the earth's surface is heat and erosion. Erosion causes rocks to have landslides and heat changes their structure causing them to take place as different structures.
How does weathering and erosion change moons surface?
Because the moon has neither liquid water or an atmosphere on its surface, there is very little weathering or erosion. Any weathering or erosion that does place is caused by repeated meteorite impacts, which break up and scatter the rocks and dust on the Moon's surface.
How does water effect erosion?
The water loosens the rocks. Then it knocks over other rocks. Then that causes an erosion
What is the process that causes rocks on the earths surface to change crumbling mountains and widening valleys?

Is gravity the force that causes rocks to change shape and size?
No, its erosion that causes rocks to change
What happens when rocks go to the surface?
Erosion.
What are three things that are on the moons surface?
craters,rocks,rings
What causes the breakdown of rocks?
WEATHERING and EROSION
What is in glaciers that causes erosion?
water and rocks salts
What has caused all of the craters on the moons surface?
Space rocks (meteors) striking the surface.
How does erosion affects rocks?
Erosion causes them to be moved from one place to another place.
Causes of mechanical weathering on the moon?
The major cause of mechanical weathering on the moon is micrometeorites. These tiny rocks hit the moons surface and over time, change it.
