Examples include weathering, erosion, earthquakes, volcanoes, organisms how the movement of energy in an earthquake is measured a large tidal wave caused by an earthquake that happens under water a mountain made of lava, ash, or other materials from eruptions the point underground where the energy buildup is released a crack in the Earth's surface where two plates meet A former "supercontinent" on the Earth that included all the present continents, which broke up and drifted apart a process that constructs, or builds up an existing landform, or creates a new one. Examples include deposition, volcanoes, faults a theory that explained how continents shift, or change position on Earth's surface the instrument used to measure the intensity of an earthquake the release of energy when plates shift the pieces of Earth's crust that fit together and form the top layer of the Earth the melted, molten rock beneath Earth's surface organisms can be destructive as they eat away and/or destroy or change the landscape of the world the point on Earth's surface that is directly above the focus of the earthquake the dropping of sediment, creates a new landform (deltas and sand dunes)
