Examples include weathering, erosion, earthquakes, volcanoes, organisms 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 large tidal wave caused by an earthquake that happens under water the point on Earth's surface that is directly above the focus of the earthquake the release of energy when plates shift a process that constructs, or builds up an existing landform, or creates a new one. Examples include deposition, volcanoes, faults the instrument used to measure the intensity of an earthquake 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 organisms can be destructive as they eat away and/or destroy or change the landscape of the world the dropping of sediment, creates a new landform (deltas and sand dunes) the pieces of Earth's crust that fit together and form the top layer of the Earth a theory that explained how continents shift, or change position on Earth's surface how the movement of energy in an earthquake is measured the melted, molten rock beneath Earth's surface the molten rock when it reaches Earth's surface
