The power of the earth that can change earth surface condition. Earth moving direction can be horizontally or vertically or both directions to diagonally moving direction. The earth surface moving caused by dynamic progress inside the earth mantle. Pictures below showed the change that caused by external power of the earth. It involved sun radiation, water movement, wind power and direction.

Sun radiation caused heating on the stones that exposed by sun. The heating level depends on the time the stones got radiation. Some minerals in the stone will reacts to the heat by absorb or reflect the heat. If most of the heat absorbed, will cause the stone get hotter. A rapid change of temperature happened will cause the stones cracked. The water and wind then involved to erode the stones which making strips on the stones.

Another possibility is the rainfall in forest. The water from the rain will absorbed by soil and some just pass trough the land surface. The roots of the plants in the forest cracked the stones, and the water absorbed enters the stone which erode the stone inside. The water on surface that did not absorbed by soil will erode the stone surface. Making strips on the stones surface.

Some stones at the beach erode by the seawater tides and waves. The seawater that reach the stones at the beach erode it gradually. The hard part of stones will be the last stand by erosion, and the soft part will eroded faster. Erosion progress happened will left form and pattern on the stones. Different time duration will show different form and pattern. The time the form or pattern will last, depends on the properties of minerals in the stone and the intensity of the seawater which caused the erosion.

Naturally, all the external power of earth involved in the erosion progress. Sun radiation, seawater or fresh water and wind, working together to build the earth surface form and pattern. The intensity of the impacts caused by the external power of the earth will influence the time duration of the forming or patterning. The color and pattern of the stones depends on the minerals types in the stones.
