Broderick Garrison · Answer 1

False

Explanation:

The humans do have big influence on the landscape of Earth. This is done through the human activities, or rather through the constant construction of new infrastructure for their needs, but also through altering the environment and the garbage that is thrown away. But this doesn't mean that the humans are the only factor that influences the physical feature on Earth, nor it means that it is the dominant one. The dominant factors that influence the physical features on Earth are the natural factors, such as the geologic activities, volcanoes, weathering, erosion etc. Also, the humans have not been able to alter the Earth's surface for very long time, it has only been for few thousand years, and only in the past few hundred it has been more intensive. This doesn't mean that this will be the case in the future though, as with the growing influence of the humans their impact will be bigger and bigger.
