Examples include deposition, volcanoes, faults a large tidal wave caused by an earthquake that happens under water the molten rock when it reaches Earth's surface the release of energy when plates shift 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) a natural occurrence that breaks down the surrounding area. Examples include weathering, erosion, earthquakes, volcanoes, organisms how the movement of energy in an earthquake is measured a mountain made of lava, ash, or other materials from eruptions organisms can be destructive as they eat away and/or destroy or change the landscape of the world A former "supercontinent" on the Earth that included all the present continents, which broke up and drifted apart the point underground where the energy buildup is released the melted, molten rock beneath Earth's surface the pieces of Earth's crust that fit together and form the top layer of the Earth
