Earthquakes
Weathering
HOW?
Weathering:Weathering is the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals on Earths surface. Water, ice, acids, salt, plants, animals, and changes in temperature are all agents of weathering.http://education.nationalgeographic.com/education/encyclopedia/weathering/?ar_a=1
Erosion:Soil erosion has different effects depending on the type of erosion. Water erosion directly affects the immediate area surrounding the eroded location and passively affects areas where the water flows.Wind erosion: the wind picks up loose particles, which damage the structure and stability similarly to water erosion, making it easier for later wind to pick up more particulates.http://www.ask.com/science/erosion-affect-earth-36e2dec894a58e8f
A volcanic eruption can knock down forests and clog rivers with volcanic ash. Damage can occur far from the volcano. But volcanoesbuild as well as destroy. Material erupted from volcanoes can formnew land. Over time, lava flows can form new, rich soil.
Erosion
Earthquakes are defined as a vibration of the earth's surface that occurs after a release of energy in the earth's crust.When it happens it can cause many different affects. Such as make and break mountains. Spreads the earth and reshapes it into many different forms.
