What forces that destroy landforms and causes damaging changes in the Earth’s surface?

destructive forces

300

How can something be both constructive and destructive?


  • May be a Destructive force or Constructive force

  • Some earthquakes pull the earth apart; in this case, the earthquake is a destructive force.

  • Other earthquakes push the two parts of the earth’s crust together, forming mountains; in this case, the earthquake is a constructive force.
