Question

Which process doesn’t have a major effect in shaping planetary surfaces? a. impact cratering b. volcanism c. tectonics d. erosion e. magnetism

Answer 1

Answer:

e. magnetism

Explanation:

In shaping the planetary surface , the following factor plays a major role , -

• impact cratering

• tectonics

• volcanism

• erosion

Magnetism does not play any role in shaping the planetary surface , since it is not a surface phenomena , it the property by which the planet attain its magnetism .

But , the process like , impact cratering , volcanism ,erosion , tectonics are all surface phenomena ,

and hence

can cause changes on the surface of the planet .
