One of the external factors affecting the formation of the Earth's surface
The answer is:
- weathering operations
- running water
- the waves
- Ice and landslides
- wind
The external factors that affect the formation of the Earth's surface are weather factors.
Weathering is a process by which the Earth's surface is broken down and altered by exposure to the elements.
This process is caused by wind, water, ice, and temperature changes, all of which contribute to the breaking down of rock and other materials at the surface.
This can create new soil and change the topography of an area, as well as erode existing features.
Weathering is an essential part of the cycle of erosion and deposition that shapes our planet.
