Shaping of Earth Surface

I tended to think that Earth surface was shaped by tectonic movements, followed by water, wind and temperature, plus now the human actions. Humans could remove or build huge mountains with their monster machinery. But when I saw these two moulds built up (1m high) within a month, I have to add in the termite actions also contribute shaping of the earth surface significantly!


Although, the termites are small, but each working termite is like a bulldozer. When there are millions of them participating in the earthworks, the earth surface can be changed easily after 1 month. What about if this continues on for 100 million years?
