Question
Prompt: The solid and liquid forms of water, as well as the daily variation between those forms are involved in the constant reshaping of the Earth’s surface. Identify and explain two ways that this occurs and what effect these changes have on the environment, in addition to the reshaping. ***See Below**
Response: Water plays a huge role in the constant reshaping of the earths surface not only in liquid form but solid form as well. When water is in a liquid state he can come from rain or snow, the water will fall on onto the continents and supply the earth with freshwater. The water is then soaked into the ground and then move downwards into open pore spaces between sediment grains which is what we know as ground water. Many people aren't aware on how ground water reshapes the earths surface, but by underground water dissolving it carves out cavern and caves. Water can also carry rocks, shells, or debris away from water line and deposit it into new areas which causes changes on the land. Waters biggest way of reshaping the earths surface is through erosion. Water will move across the earth in streams and rivers while pushing soil and breaking down rock. The water that is carrying new material will cause a change in landform.

Explanation / Answer
The response is correct. The interchange between the two forms, ice or snow and water involes melting- which changes the ice to water.Water mainly shapes the Earth's surface by namely, two processes- erosion and deposition.
Waters in rivers and streams erodes the valleys or the path through which it travels and deposits the eroded particles at the base, thereby shaping the earth's surface.
During rainfall, water seeps through the ground, erodes and forms caverns and caves. Thus, water plays a major role in reshaping the earth's surface.
