The Earth and the Changes on It
The surface of the earth never remains the same. It constantly undergoes changes. These
hanges can be sudden or gradual. The sudden changes originate inside the earth, due to volcanic or
earthquake activities. These forces bring radical changes and are easily visible. On the other hand,
some changes are very slow and take place gradually over a very long time. This could be due to
natural forces, such as carrying of soil by rain water, changes in the course of a river, winds carrying
soil particles with them, etc.
Human factors can play an equally important role in changing the surface of the earth. Th
examples are cutting down of forests, construction of roads, bridges and railway lines, large-sca
mining, building of dams, etc. In this chapter, we will study about the processes that are involved
