by pulling it making it thinner in the middle
because when it acts on the surface it stretches the rock to make craters or " dents" on the crust.
it means earthquakes will happen more often
the movement of earth's plates creates enourmous forces that squeeze or pull the rock in the crust as if it were a candy bar
It is a physical change unless it is caught on fire to mold into a different shape then it would be a chemical change. The substance that does change shape does not develop new chemical properties.
Well, diamonds are hard minerals, and if they are used in a drill, it could help with the power given and make the course, and power of the drill increase. Diamonds are minerals and they are found in South Africa. You dig them up and they are contained in a rock called "kimberlite" after that you give the shape, size and polish the diamond. They may use them for other things, not only jewelry. They are also used in: Telecommunication, rock drill bit, mine shack..... This information is true, i will post more soon! ;)
because there has to be some kind of distortion of earths spherical shape
Gases can NOT change shape because gases don't have a 'shape', it's the container in which they are held that has a shape)
Yes, a solid shape can change. If the heat rises above a certain temperature that which a solid can handle (the melting point) than the solid begins a physical change into a liquid.

Deformation

the process that shape earths crust by forming new features is called endogenious :)
Shearing, tension, and compression work over millions of years to change the shape and volume of rock. Those are types of stress.

There has been a change in the shape of earth crust due to this terrible earthquake caused by displacement over Asian tectonic plates. This has resulted in 8 feet around/ over the epicentre. Such a huge change in shape of earth's crust, resulting change in earth's momentum/ GD2 around Sun; resulting our day is now shorter by fraction of micro-second!
Weathering and erosion shape earths surface by changing earths surface by having extreme forces that change earth.
No! pangea changed the sufaces of the earth not the shape
the answer endogenous yousif solaka :p
The surface of the earth is called the crust. I hope this is the answer you need.
