Complex adaptive systems are systems that change and restructure themselves based on changes in their environment. These types of systems can range from ant colonies to global economy investments. Perhaps one of the best examples of complex adaptive systems is the internet.
One change to Earth’s surface can result in changes to other Earth systems (Apex 2021)

The cycles resulting from changes in Earth's movements are called Milankovitch cycles. These changes in Earth's orbit and axial tilt can affect the amount and distribution of sunlight reaching the Earth's surface, potentially leading to ice ages.

The Earth moves in various ways: it rotates on its axis, resulting in day and night cycles, and it orbits the sun, creating the changing seasons. These movements are essential for sustaining life and shaping Earth's climate and environment.
Changes on the Earth's surface, such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mountain formations, are usually connected to processes happening below the Earth's surface. These changes are often driven by tectonic plate movements, magma movements in the Earth's mantle, and crustal deformation. Volcanoes, for example, are connected to the movement of magma from deeper within the Earth to the surface.
Known as the Miklankovitch cycles, they operate on different timescales. Eccentricity relates to the fact that the earth's orbit changes to being more or less elliptical about every 100,000 years. Obliquity relates to the fact that the axis if the earth varies in inclination over a cycle of 41,000 years. Precession relates to the fact that the earth wobbles slightly in its axis over a period of 23,000 years. All these cycles vary so that sometimes they add to each other, and sometimes they are working against each other, and this affects the amount of sunlight reaching the earth. This promotes regular changes in the earth's temperature, over which we have no control.
The mass movement that makes the most changes in Earth's surface is not air, or water, but a landslide. The four mass movements are landslide, slump, creep, and mudslide.Old Answer: air, water.
Both physical and chemical changes occur frequently on Earth. Physical changes involve a change in the state or appearance of a substance without altering its chemical composition, such as melting ice or boiling water. Chemical changes involve a transformation at the molecular level, resulting in the formation of new substances, such as rusting of iron or digestion of food. Both types of changes play essential roles in Earth's natural processes and cycles.
