Examples include deposition, volcanoes, faults the point underground where the energy buildup is released a theory that explained how continents shift, or change position on Earth's surface organisms can be destructive as they eat away and/or destroy or change the landscape of the world a natural occurrence that breaks down the surrounding area. Examples include weathering, erosion, earthquakes, volcanoes, organisms the scale used to determine the strength of an earthquake (0-10.0 scale with 6.0+ being pretty powerful) a mountain made of lava, ash, or other materials from eruptions the release of energy when plates shift 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 how the movement of energy in an earthquake is measured 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
