Currents of magma within our planet move the plates that form the continental crust in a constant process that builds mountains and creates valleys. These valleys may eventually become lakes, seas, and oceans. On the surface, the greatest factor affecting Earth is sunlight. Sun provides energy for living organisms, and it drives our planet's weather and climate by creating temperature gradients in the atmosphere and oceans.
