Earthquakes can change Earth's shape by altering the distribution of mass, resulting in a slightly different distribution of the planet's mass. This change in mass distribution can cause a tiny shift in Earth's rotation axis, leading to a very small change in the length of the day. This effect is very minuscule and not noticeable to the average person.

No, an activity can not intrinsically change the shape of the planet.


How do the earths processes change and renew the physical features of your planet?

Volcano eruptions and earthquakes shape and reshape the earth continuously also other climate effects like storms and hurricanes form different shapes along the shore line. Edit: Also there is the huge effect of "plate tectonics" (which is involved in volcanoes and earthquakes too, of course).

What type of person studies processes that change and shape of earth?

A geologist studies processes that change and shape the Earth, such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, erosion, and plate tectonics. They aim to understand the Earth's history and how its features have evolved over time.

How does the surface of the earth change when two continental plates collide?

The Earths surface changes shape when plates collide when the earths surface overlaps or when there are Earthquakes.


What are forces that cause the Earths surface to constantly change and what are their effects on the planet?

Forces like plate tectonics, erosion, and weathering constantly shape Earth's surface. Plate tectonics cause earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, shaping the planet's landforms. Erosion by wind and water can carve out valleys and canyons, while weathering breaks down rocks into sediment, contributing to the formation of soils.


Is the world changing shape?

No, the shape of Earth remains constant. While geological processes like plate tectonics and erosion may alter its surface, the overall shape of the planet does not change on a noticeable timescale.


Energy stored in rocks as a change in shape?

Energy stored in rocks as a change in shape is known as elastic potential energy. When stress is applied to the rock, it deforms and stores potential energy until it is released, causing the rock to return to its original shape. This energy can be released suddenly, resulting in events like earthquakes.
