Weathering erodes surface features
One force that builds up features of the Earth's surface is tectonic forces, which involve movements of the Earth's lithosphere plates that can create mountains, volcanoes, and other geological formations. Another force is erosion, where processes like water, wind, and ice gradually wear down and reshape the Earth's surface over time.
Gravity is the force of nature that pulls in Earth's water, keeping it on the surface of the planet. This gravitational force is responsible for the tides and the shape of the ocean basins.
The force that changes Earth's surface most slowly is typically erosion, which is the gradual wearing down of rocks and soil by wind, water, and other natural forces. This process can take thousands to millions of years to significantly alter the landscape.
Wind erosion can create surface features such as sand dunes, ventifacts (rocks shaped by abrasion), and yardangs (elongated ridges). These features are typically found in arid or semi-arid regions where wind is a dominant erosional force.
Plate tectonics is a major force shaping Earth's features, with movements of plates leading to events like earthquakes and the formation of mountain ranges. Volcanic activity also plays a role in shaping the Earth's surface through the formation of landforms such as volcanoes and lava plateaus. Additionally, weathering from biological factors, like plant roots breaking down rocks, contributes to the transformation of Earth's features.
Constructive Force
They slowly change the shoreline by moving sand.
The moon's gravity is about 1/6th of the earth's.
Force (newtons) = mass (kg) * acceleration (m/s/s) > Acceleration at earths surface radius = 9.82 m/s/s
Constructive Force
Gravity.
The force responsible for keeping you on Earth's surface is the gravitational force. This force is generated by the mass of the Earth, which pulls objects towards its center.
Weathering, or erosion changes the Earth's surface slowly over time.

The weight of any object on the surface of the moon is 16.55% of its weight on the surface of the Earth.
Gravity is strongest at the earths surface because it's atmosphere is v dense and so the force inc.this happens because force is directly proportional to density.
