water ______________ Basically, gravity shapes the earth. During the time that it was acquiring more and more mass from the disk of materials in its path, it reached a point where simply by the weight of its own components it began to collapse into a shape that was more and more sphere-like. This in fact is one of the requirements for a body to be considered a planet. In terms of erosion, water wind heat microorganisms plant and animal life all play a part in shaping certain aspects of the surface. But the fundamental shape of the earth is under the control of gravity.

Who created shapes?
Nature. Shapes were there long before there was life on earth, or indeed, before there was the solar system.
What is the importance of spherical trigonometry in math?
Historically, it is because we live on a planet which is approximately spherical. 2-dimensional trigonometry was adequate for relatively small shapes where the curvature of the earth had negligible effect. For larger shapes the spherical nature of the earth was important and therefore, so was spherical trigonometry.
What 3-d shapes have square bases?
There are infinitely many such shapes. There are infinitely many such shapes. There are infinitely many such shapes. There are infinitely many such shapes.
How are organic shapes different from geomictric shapes?
Organic shapes are shapes with a natural look and a flowing and curving appearance.
What are the two types of shapes?
Two types of shapes are 1. 1D Shapes 2. 2D Shapes Thanks Gaurang
