What are surface features?
different land and water features that were caused by a process that either creates and/or destroys
what are destructive forces/processes?
natural forces that break down the earth to create landforms.
what are constructive forces/processes?
natural forces that create surface features on Earth to create landform.
There has been a release of energy from Earth's crust. What is about to happen?
an earthquake is about to occur

3/7
What are the two types of plateaus?
Dissected and Volcanic
what is the difference between erosion and weathering?
- erosion is a fast process of crumbling, move sediments, causes plateaus and canyons
-weathering is a slow process of crumbling, breaks down rocks and creates sediments, can cause waterfalls
although gravity is not a process, what is gravity?
oh no! There is a volcanic eruption! What is going to happen now?!?
a mountain or volcano can form.
