Constructive Process
A deposit of sediment that builds up at a river’s mouth.
Delta
The breaking down of rock at or near the Earth’s surface is called
weathering
Explain the purpose of a levee
A levee is a man-made or natural embankment built along the sides of a river or other body of water to prevent flooding of the adjacent land.Its purpose is flood protection.
Earthquakes and volcanoes can both be destructive and constructive processes

b.She should choose a canyon that can be created by flowing water carving through rock.
c.She should choose an island that can be created by the cooling lava of a volcanic eruption.
d.She should choose a valley that can be created by a retreating glacier carving the landscape.

wind
If I understand that the breaking and falling rock describes both weathering and erosion. Which claim below would best support the claim that this event was an example of a destructive process.
a. The cliff is changing because of the constructive process of weathering.
b. The cliff is changing because of the destructive process of sedimentation.
c. The cliff is changing because of the destructive process of erosion.
d. The cliff is changing because of the constructive process of deposition.
c. The cliff is changing because of the destructive process of erosion.
is an agricultural practice where sloped land is transformed into a series of flat, step-like platforms or "terraces."
Bonus 100 pts.: give its primary purpose
terrace farming
purpose= soil erosion
