Examples include deposition, volcanoes, faults the dropping of sediment, creates a new landform (deltas and sand dunes) organisms can be destructive as they eat away and/or destroy or change the landscape of the world how the movement of energy in an earthquake is measured the melted, molten rock beneath Earth's surface 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 A former "supercontinent" on the Earth that included all the present continents, which broke up and drifted apart the pieces of Earth's crust that fit together and form the top layer of the Earth the point underground where the energy buildup is released a natural occurrence that breaks down the surrounding area. Examples include weathering, erosion, earthquakes, volcanoes, organisms the instrument used to measure the intensity of an earthquake the scale used to determine the strength of an earthquake (0-10.0 scale with 6.0+ being pretty powerful)
