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