Examples include deposition, volcanoes, faults the dropping of sediment, creates a new landform (deltas and sand dunes) how the movement of energy in an earthquake is measured the point underground where the energy buildup is released the instrument used to measure the intensity of an earthquake the pieces of Earth's crust that fit together and form the top layer of the Earth a crack in the Earth's surface where two plates meet the molten rock when it reaches Earth's surface the release of energy when plates shift A former "supercontinent" on the Earth that included all the present continents, which broke up and drifted apart the melted, molten rock beneath Earth's surface a large tidal wave caused by an earthquake that happens under water area around the Pacific Ocean where there is a large number of earthquakes and some of the Earth's most active volcanoes occur a natural occurrence that breaks down the surrounding area. Examples include weathering, erosion, earthquakes, volcanoes, organisms a mountain made of lava, ash, or other materials from eruptions the scale used to determine the strength of an earthquake (0-10.0 scale with 6.0+ being pretty powerful) organisms can be destructive as they eat away and/or destroy or change the landscape of the world a theory that explained how continents shift, or change position on Earth's surface
