Examples include weathering, erosion, earthquakes, volcanoes, organisms a theory that explained how continents shift, or change position on Earth's surface the release of energy when plates shift the instrument used to measure the intensity of an earthquake the dropping of sediment, creates a new landform (deltas and sand dunes) a process that constructs, or builds up an existing landform, or creates a new one. Examples include deposition, volcanoes, faults the point underground where the energy buildup is released 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 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 the point on Earth's surface that is directly above the focus of the earthquake the scale used to determine the strength of an earthquake (0-10.0 scale with 6.0+ being pretty powerful) the molten rock when it reaches Earth's surface how the movement of energy in an earthquake is measured
