EQ Answering

                        EQ Answering: Why does our earth look the way it does?
Our earth has actually changed a whole lot over its history of years. This has happened due to many things but one of them  something fascinating called erosion. Erosion is when land or surface is worn away due to many natural elements. Natural elements  as in water,air,chemicals and ice. These many different elements come on some sort of land and  when it comes on that surface  and shapes it,by maybe breaking parts away or shortening it making that surface more thin and narrow. Of course because of this erosion and how long are land has lived that is why there are all those land  marks. Some times the our earth changes its shape  due to many different natural disasters. For example earth quakes and tsunamis can really affect how land looks. An earth quake can make a big crack or make a piece of land fall. A tsunami can break land apart or drift land away. Same as all kind of disasters like sink holes or hurricanes and floods,avalanches Etc. Not only that shapes the solid  and liquid surfaces of the earth. Another three things do it like weathering. Weathering is when rocks and minerals break down due to long exposure to the atmosphere. Weathering is caused by water,ice,acids,salt and plants and animals. Moving on from that climate is the other cause of our lands and surfaces moving and changing. Climate changes the surfaces by creating glaciers that can cut peaks of mountains. Also something called  uplifting. Uplifting is when two earth plates combine and one grows on top of the other  and creates mountains. Also lakes and rivers that are in-between a canyon or valley are technically erosion.  So our earth does change a whole lot in many different ways even right now as you read this article erosion is happening. Thats how our world evolved and changed.
