The Earth is shaped the way it is now, is due to acid water back when the Earth was first created, hence some part of the lands came in contact with that acid and "melted", so some parts are "deeper" and some are "higher".

The Earth's surface is shaped by a combination of processes such as erosion, weathering, tectonic activity, volcanic eruptions, and sedimentation. Over millions of years, these processes have sculpted the landforms we see today, including mountains, valleys, rivers, and Coastlines. The shaping of the Earth's surface is an ongoing and dynamic process driven by interactions between the Earth's geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere.

Are earthquakes the dominant agent for shaping much of the earths surface?
No, erosion by water and ice is the dominant agent for shaping much of the Earth's surface over long periods of time. While earthquakes can cause sudden changes in topography, erosion is the primary force responsible for shaping the Earth's landscapes.
Why are there are almost no extrusive ultra basic rocks in earths crust?
There are almost no extrusive rocks on the earths surface because they are all under the earths surface. They are mainly lower than the earths surface.
How do fossils provide evidence for moving plates?
Their evidence comes from rocks at earths surface.
Is mount novarupta responsible for any of earths surface changes?

What details explain landforms?
the details to explain it is the fact that they are so important to the earths surface for exaple a land formare featured in mountains,vallies and hills.
What percent of the earths surface is the US?
100
How much of earths oceans cover earths surface?
70% or 80% of water covers the earths surface
Does the outer core cover earths surface?
No the crust covers earths surface
Why are map projecters needed?
to draw the earths surface.
What forces below earth surface shape landforms?
The tectonic plates below earths surface shape earths landforms
Why are there are almost no extrusive ultra basic rocks in earths crust?
There are almost no extrusive rocks on the earths surface because they are all under the earths surface. They are mainly lower than the earths surface.
How far beneath the surface is the Earths core?
The Earth's core is approximately 2,900 kilometers (1,800 miles) beneath the Earth's surface.
How does weathering and erosion shape earths surface?
Weathering breaks down rocks into smaller pieces, while erosion transports these pieces to new locations. Over time, these processes can create features like valleys, canyons, and coastlines, shaping the Earth's surface.
What Continuous movement of water from Earths surface to the and back to earths surface?
it is water cycle
What is under the earths surface and in the earths crust?
mantle
