What natural processes that occur on the earths surface to make and destroy rocks?
deposition
sedimentation
erosion
crystallization (of lava)
melting (of ice)
sublimation (if ice)
frost wedging
transportation by
water
wind
tectonics
vulcanism
human activity
astroblemes (look it up)
and several others which I am too tired to recall from my first yeat Geoscience course.
You might try looking in your textbooks.

What is a raised part of the earths surface?
A raised part of the Earth's surface is called a mountain or hill. This is a natural elevation that can vary in size and shape, often formed through geological processes like tectonic plate movement or volcanic activity.
What is the definition of earths processes?
A process in which the Earth changes.
What mineral is stable at earths surface?
Quartz is a mineral that is stable at Earth's surface due to its chemical composition and resistance to weathering processes.
How does weathering and erosion shape earths surface?
Weathering breaks down rocks into smaller pieces, while erosion transports these pieces to new locations. Over time, these processes can create features like valleys, canyons, and coastlines, shaping the Earth's surface.
What is the process that breaks up rock on earths surface?
Weathering is the process that breaks up rocks on Earth's surface. This can occur through physical processes like freezing and thawing, as well as chemical processes like acid rain and oxidation. Over time, weathering can break down rocks into smaller particles and ultimately contribute to soil formation.
How do hurricanes affect the earths surface?
they obviously destroy things...
What is processes that break down rock at earths surface?
Denudational processes, which includes, weathering, erosion, deformation, and exfoliation. Mass movement also plays a great role in changing the earths surface.
What are Mountains and basins?
A mountain is a natural, large elevation in the Earths surface. A basin is a depression in the Earths surface containing water.
What processes do scientist infer to have shaped earths surface in the past?
The shifting of Tectonic Plates.
What is the answer to Earths surface can be changed by natural forces such as?
Umm, I think the crust.
What is a natural rise in earths surface that is larger than a hill?
It is a mountain.
How does weathering and erosion effect earths surface?
well, lets see. weathering and ersion are both destructive fources, there for, they destroy Earth's surface.
How will three processes act together to wear down and build up earths surface?
d
Which natural process is caused by rocks moving under earths surface?
earthquakes
What is landforn?
A natural feature of the earths surface,such as a mountain,hill,plateau, or plain
What is a raised part of the earths surface?
A raised part of the Earth's surface is called a mountain or hill. This is a natural elevation that can vary in size and shape, often formed through geological processes like tectonic plate movement or volcanic activity.
What is a high natural elevation of the earths surface rising abrutply to a summit?
A mountain is a high natural elevation of the earth's surface that rises abruptly to a summit.
