Answer:

Earth's surface is constantly changing. Wind, water, and ice break down large rocks and move sediments on the surface. It usually takes years for weathering, erosion, and deposition to cause noticeable changes. Some events, though, change Earth's surface much more quickly.There are basically 2 types of changes that occur to the earth's surface (i) Slow change and (ii) fast change. Fast changes occur through the actions of earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides, etc. while slow change takes time and has a process.

Step-by-step explanation:

Our home planet Earth is a rocky, terrestrial planet. It has a solid and active surface with mountains, valleys, canyons, plains and so much more. Earth is special because it is an ocean planet. Water covers 70% of Earth's surface. When it comes to changes on the Earth's surface, the main processes to take into account are plate tectonics and the rock cycle as well as the sea-floor spreading. ... These collisions causes mountains and volcanoes to form on the plate boundaries and thus changes the shape and form of the landmass
