Earth's land surface is built up by a process called tectonic subduction.
Related Information:
This process occurs as one tectonic plate is subducted (slips under) another, while the subducting plate is elevated as it moves over the subducted plate. The subducted plate is most commonly a oceanic plate.

Volcano.
When a volcano is a mountain that builds up around an opening in earths crust called?
Vent
Magma reaches the earths surface as a result of the process called?
Magma reaches the Earth's surface through a process called volcanic eruption. This occurs when pressure builds up underground and forces the magma to flow and eventually break through the Earth's surface. Once the magma reaches the surface, it is then called lava.
What moves up the earths surface in a pipe?
magma moves up earth suface
Where does magma form before it moves towards earth's surface?
from rocks being melted in the earths core, it then gets pushed up and the pressurre builds, the a volcanic erupiton takes place due to the pressure from the outer core/mantle, strange but true
What is the force that builds up features of earths surface?
Constructive Force
What wears down and builds up earths surface?
Weathering, erosion, and deposition. Earth's surface could also be built up by volcanism.
Can you describe the process that wears down and builds up the earths surface?
weathering, erosion, deposition, and uplift
How do volcanoes takes place?
Volcanoes are essentially holes in the earths surface through which magma and lava can erupt. when pressure builds up below the earths crust, magma is then forced violently out of the volcanoes.
