Constructive Forces
Lava flowing into shallow seawater and causing eruptions or explosions
Volcanoes
Landforms and bodies of water that cover the Earth's surface...
Surface Features
Flood water Pounding against a canyon wall and wearing it down
Weathering
The result of acid rain dissolving underground limestone
Caves
Deltas forming at the mouths of rivers
Deposition
These can be both constructive and destructive forces
Volcanic eruptions, sediment deposition or crust deformation
A sudden shaking of the Earth's surface, caused by movement in the earth's crust is called...
Earthquake
Materials (like sand and stones) that gets deposited by water, wind or glaciers
Sediments
Plant roots growing in sidewalks
Physical weathering
A mudslide flowing down a steep hill
Erosion
Explain why the Hawaiian islands are a result of constructive AND destructive forces.
Volcanic eruptions destroy existing land forms and when lava is released and hardens it forms new land forms.
When a huge amount of water flows onto a steep slope and results in mud, soil and other sediments sliding into the path (The Panama Canal)
Mudslides
My bike rusting in my backyard as a result of carbonic acid (air and water)
Chemical Weathering
Wind blowing sand from one location to another (The Dust Bowl)
(Wind) Erosion
Water freezing in a crack and then expanded and causing the crack to widen.
Weathering (Physical)
A crack in the Earth's crust is called....
A Fault
The Hawaiian islands are a result of this...
