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