Answer 1

Erosion, weathering, and deposition are at work everywhere on Earth. Gravity pulls everything toward the center of Earth causing rock and other materials to move downhill. Water's movements (both on land and underground) cause weathering and erosion, which change the land's surface features and create underground formations.

The effects of these processes are as follows:

Changes in shape, size, and texture of land-forms (i.e. mountains, riverbeds, and beaches)

Landslides

Buildings, statues, and roads wearing away

Soil formation

Washes soil, pollutants, harmful sediments into waterways

Causes metals to rust

Reduces beaches, shorelines

Delta formation

Formation of various new landforms. Erosion, weathering, and deposition are at work everywhere on Earth.
