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