Real quick, I will tell you why i think it does from a scientific point of veiw, but I dont know for sure.
The reason that the Earth goes through so much change on a regular basis is because of Gravity. What Gravity is doing is pulling objects to the Earth that it can reach (Which you probably knew) and so when it does this, it is pulling at the earths surface as well, causing constant change.
I hope this helps you!
