force|explanation|example
weathering|a process when earths suffs|
erosion|
buildup and movement|
human actions|

Explanation:

• Weathering: Physical, chemical or biological processes break down rocks on Earth's surface. Example: Acid - rain weathering limestone.
• Erosion: Movement of weathered materials by agents like water, wind, ice. Example: River erosion forming valleys.
• Buildup and Movement: Geological processes like volcanic activity or tectonic plate movement build up and reshape landforms. Example: Volcanic eruptions creating new islands.
• Human Actions: Activities such as mining, construction change the Earth's surface. Example: Strip - mining altering landscapes.
