Volcanoes can build mountains fairly quickly, and destroy them even faster. They can form new lakes, and islands, and just as easily make them disappear.

Flooding can change the courses of rivers and wash away terrain. Tornadoes can level forests ans strip away vegetation.

Why does tornadoes happen in the gulf of Mexico?

Tornadoes do not happen IN the Gulf of Mexico. Tropical storms and hurricanes happen in the Gulf of Mex, but not tornadoes. Tornado-like features over water are called waterspouts.


What are the main features of tsunamis?

a series of waves, produced by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, meteorite impact, or underwater landslides.


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).


Do hurricanes tornadoes and blizzards have low temperatures or wind?

Blizzards have both low temperatures and strong wind. Blizzards, by definition, must produce winds of at least gale force and, being snowstorms, involve temperatures below freezing. Tornadoes and hurricanes both produce very powerful winds and generally occur in warm weather.

What are the 3 geographic features that may be found at plate boundaries?

Three geographic features that may be found at plate boundaries are earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mountain ranges. These features are a result of the movement and interaction of tectonic plates at plate boundaries.


What is tectonic activities?

Tectonic activities are processes related to the movement and deformation of the Earth's crust. This includes activities such as plate tectonics, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mountain building. These activities are driven by the movement of tectonic plates and can result in the formation of various geologic features.


What forces shape the eaths features?

The main forces that shape Earth's features are plate tectonics, which cause earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the formation of mountains; erosion by water, wind, and ice, which shapes the landscape over time; and human activities, such as deforestation and urbanization, which also alter the Earth's features.


How has technology changed the way hurricanes and tornadoes are studied?

Satellites allow us to track hurricanes at sea and study previously unseen features. Doppler radar allows us to directly track winds and precipitation in hurricanes, tornadoes, and potentially tornadic storms.


Do hurricanes have weather geological or human causes?

Hurricanes are produce by weather phenomena, though geologic features can influence them.

A hot spot in the Earth's crust is often associated with?

volcanic activity, as it is a location where magma from the mantle rises and creates a thermal anomaly at the surface. This can result in volcanic eruptions, geothermal features, and potential hazards like earthquakes and tsunamis.
