What are two ways catastrophic events can change Earth's crust?

Asked by kellyorellana65

Answer (2)

Earthquakes can literally shake the crust and move the tectonic plates of the crust around. Also, impacts from large meteors/meteorites can change the crust's element composition in a layer.

Catastrophic events can change Earth's crust mainly through volcanic eruptions, which create new landforms from solidified magma, and earthquakes, which alter the landscape through ground displacement. Both events showcase the dynamic nature of Earth's geological processes.
