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 a theory that explained how continents shift, or change position on Earth's surface the molten rock when it reaches Earth's surface the point on Earth's surface that is directly above the focus of the earthquake how the movement of energy in an earthquake is measured a natural occurrence that breaks down the surrounding area. Examples include weathering, erosion, earthquakes, volcanoes, organisms the melted, molten rock beneath Earth's surface the instrument used to measure the intensity of an earthquake a large tidal wave caused by an earthquake that happens under water the pieces of Earth's crust that fit together and form the top layer of the Earth A former "supercontinent" on the Earth that included all the present continents, which broke up and drifted apart the release of energy when plates shift
