How does water change the shape of Earth’s surface?
Water changes the shape of Earth’s surface through weathering, erosion, and the movement of glaciers. Rivers, streams, and ocean tides wear away soil and rocks over time. Additionally, frost weathering (ice wedging) breaks rocks apart, and the slow movement of glaciers carves out valleys and reshapes the landscape.
