Answer:

Volcanism: eruption of molten rock onto surface

tectonics: disruption of planet's surface by internal stresses

erosion: surface changes by water,wind or ice

Impact: impacts by asteroides or meteorites

Explanation:

Terrestrial planets have hard surfaces that can be reshaped by 4 major geological processes, that are:

  • volcanism
  • erosion
  • tectonics
  • impact cratering

Each of these processes is caused by different things. For e.g :

Volcanism happens when hot lava reaches the surface and give rise to volcanic planes e.g runny lava makes flat lava plains, while thickest lava makes steep stratovolcanoes

Erosion: is a geological process that removes rock, soil or dissolved materials and transport them by wind or water from one location of earth's crust to another. Example of erosion caused by ice, Glaciers carved by Yosemite Valley.

Tectonics: internal stresses in the earth caused by convection of mantle give rise to tectonic forces. Example compression forces give rise to mountain ranges. And valleys are formed at the point where a cryst is pulled apart

Impact cratering: This is caused when a meteorites or asteroides hits a planet's surface. Impact catering happened immediately after the solar system was formed.
