Earth's Surface Processes

Earth's surface processes involve natural activities that shape and change the land over time. These include weathering (breaking down rocks), erosion (transporting sediment), deposition (laying down materials), and tectonic movements (like earthquakes and volcanic activity). Water, wind, ice, and gravity drive these processes, gradually forming landscapes such as valleys, mountains, and coastlines. They operate over long periods, continuously reshaping Earth's surface and influencing ecosystems, climate, and human activities. Understanding these processes helps us appreciate the dynamic nature of our planet and manage natural resources responsibly.
