Examples include deposition, volcanoes, faults 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) the dropping of sediment, creates a new landform (deltas and sand dunes) 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 large tidal wave caused by an earthquake that happens under water the molten rock when it reaches Earth's surface
