and the formation of unique shapes and structures.
5) The presence of different types of rock, minerals and soils leads to different patterns of erosion and weathering.
6) Climate and weather patterns in different regions also play a role in shaping natural formations over time.
7) Human activities, such as mining and construction, can also interfere with natural formations and alter their shape and structure.
Why are natural formations so different and unique?
1) The mantle under the tectonic plates is constantly moving and stops constructive forces from acting too quickly.
2) Constructive forces and destructive mechanisms in the natural world build up and take away from natural
formations.
3) The movement of tectonic plates is so fast that mountains are able to form within a few years.
4) Divergent boundaries moving away from each other cause the weathering of rocks in the area which leads to erosion
