What can cause Earth\u2019s surface to look the way it does?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Weathering, erosion, and deposition are earth processes that have effects on many different types of landforms. This is part of the reason that Earth\u2019s surface looks different in different places. However, these three processes cannot explain all land changes, which leads us to wonder about other processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
