Surfaces of the earth


    • What is the unique about the earth's surface?

      There are many different types of features on Earth's surface due to the complexity of our planet. The surface is unique from the other planets because it is the only one which has liquid water in such large quantities. Water forms some features of Earth's surface such as rivers, oceans, beaches and lakes.


    • What are the surface features of the Earth?

      Major features of earth's surface Major Features of Earth's Surface 1. Evolution of Surface Features 2. Major Features of Continental Surface 3. Surface Features The mechanically rigid outer layer of the Earth, the lithosphere, is broken into pieces called tectonic plates. These plates are rigid segments that move in relation to one another.


    • What is the layer above the surface of Earth?

      If we start from the top of the troposphere and go further into the sky, we reach the layer known as the stratosphere . If we start from the top of the troposphere and go further into the sky, we reach the layer known as the stratosphere. This layer goes up around 50 km above the Earth's ground.

      Both surfaces, the continental land and the seafloor, exhibit an endless variety of morphological forms. High mountain ranges, large valleys, deep abyssal plains, canyons, and deep trenches abound. The distributions of continental land and seafloor are constantly changing. Weathering and other surficial processes erode Earth's surface.
