Question

Which is likely to change the shape of a landform?

A) glaciers
B) lunar phases
C) solar radiation
D) gravitational pull

Answer 1

I believe it’s A or D

Answer 2

Glaciers change the shape of the landform with its gradual movement.

Explanation:

• Glaciers result in landforms when the ice erodes the surface and carries broken rocks and soil remains. They can drastically reshape the landscapes.

• Lunar phases will not affect the shape of a landform. The moon’s rotation is locked by Earth’s gravitational force. The phases of moon change over a month.

• Solar radiation reaching the earth’s surface is the surface solar radiation which is responsible for the surface energy balance.

• Gravitational pull also effects landforms by pulling water and ice downhill. This can cause erosion in an indirect and direct ways.

• It can pull the soil, land, rocks, cliffs etc. But glaciers prove the most effective ways in affecting landforms.
