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