Question

How does water change the shape of Earth’s surface?

Answer 1

Answer:

Water moving across the earth in streams and rivers pushes along soil and breaks down pieces of rock in a process called erosion. ... Water moving in ocean waves carries sand, shells and debris away from some coastal areas and deposits them in new areas, changing the shape of the coastline.

Answer 2

Water changes the shape of Earth in the following ways-

• The running water such as rivers and streams causes the disintegration of rocks into smaller pieces. This is called weathering which changes the topographic features.
• The weathered rock pieces are easily eroded with moving water. The water deposits the rocks to newer places which create new landforms.
• The property of water to dissolve a large number of substances is majorly responsible for changing the Earth's surface as it helps in the transport of a large number of materials such as soil, rocks etc. to different places.
• For example- The North Indian Plains are created due to the erosional and depositional activities of rivers draining that region.
