Examples include weathering, erosion, earthquakes, volcanoes, organisms the molten rock when it reaches Earth's surface a process that constructs, or builds up an existing landform, or creates a new one. Examples include deposition, volcanoes, faults 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 the pieces of Earth's crust that fit together and form the top layer of the Earth a theory that explained how continents shift, or change position on Earth's surface a mountain made of lava, ash, or other materials from eruptions the instrument used to measure the intensity of an earthquake the point underground where the energy buildup is released 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
