Consider the following:1. Electromagnetic radiation2. Geothermal energy3. Gravitational force4. Plate movements5. Rotation of the earth6. Revolution of the earthWhich of the above are responsible for bringing dynamic changes on the surface of the earth?
✓ Correct answer: d) 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6
ExplanationFactors of The Dynamic Changes of the Earth:Electromagnetic radiation from the sun, particularly in the form of solar energy, drives atmospheric and surface processes such as weathering, erosion, and the water cycle.These processes contribute to the continuous reshaping of Earth’s surface.Geothermal energy originates from Earth’s internal heat, which fuels volcanic activity and drives plate tectonics.These internal processes lead to the formation of new landforms, mountain building, and seafloor spreading, all of which dynamically alter Earth’s surface.Gravity influences the movement of water, sediments, and tectonic plates.It plays a crucial role in processes like mass wasting (landslides), river flow, and glacial movement which contributes to the dynamic changes on Earth’s surface.The movement of tectonic plates leads to continental drift, mountain formation, earthquakes, and volcanic activity.Rotation of the Earth causes the Coriolis effect, which deflects moving air and water, influencing weather patterns, ocean currents, and thus affecting erosion and depositio
