Most common change to the Earths surface from internal forces would most likely be earthquakes and volcano eruptions. External forces could be considered meteor strikes, or possibly the effects of gravity on the oceans ( Tides ) Global warming is also melting glaciers and causing a growth in arid regions.

How do we know all the events in the Earths History?

Our understanding of Earth's history is derived from multiple scientific disciplines, including geology, paleontology, and archaeology. By studying rock layers (stratigraphy), fossil records, and radiometric dating techniques, scientists can piece together a timeline of events. Additionally, the analysis of ice cores, sediment samples, and other geological records provides insights into past climates and ecological changes. This cumulative evidence allows researchers to reconstruct the Earth’s history over billions of years.


What are 3 major eras of earths history?

The three major eras of Earth's history are the Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic eras. The Paleozoic era, spanning from about 541 to 252 million years ago, is characterized by the emergence of diverse marine life and the first land animals. The Mesozoic era, known as the "Age of Reptiles," lasted from approximately 252 to 66 million years ago and is marked by the dominance of dinosaurs. The Cenozoic era, beginning around 66 million years ago and continuing to the present, is marked by the rise of mammals and birds, as well as significant climate changes.

How do internal forces of change effect earths surface differently from external forces of change?

Internal forces of change, like tectonic plate movement, can lead to large-scale changes on Earth's surface such as mountain formation, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions. In contrast, external forces of change, such as erosion by wind and water, shape the surface through processes like weathering and sediment transport. Both internal and external forces play complementary roles in shaping and transforming Earth's surface over time.

What are three internal and external physical forces that affect the earths surface?

Internal forces: tectonic plate movement, volcanic activity, and earthquakes. External forces: weathering, erosion by water/wind/ice, and impact events (e.g. meteorites).


What is a feature sculpted on earths surface by internal or external forces?

Mountains are a feature sculpted on Earth's surface by internal forces such as tectonic plate movements or external forces like erosion from wind and water. They are formed when the Earth's crust is pushed together or pulled apart, resulting in uplifted landforms with peaks and valleys.
