Earth Surface
Destruct means to
What is destroy or break down.
The process of ice breaking a rock.
What is ice wedging?
Construct means to
What is build up?
A force that builds up features on the surface of the Earth.
An agent of chemical and mechanical weathering?
What is living organisms?
The Rockies, Andes, and Himalayas Mountain Ranges formed from this process.
What is plates colliding? Specifically called a convergent boundary
Sediment is carried and deposited at the mouth of a river.
What is a delta?
A force that breaks down features on the Earth's surface.
What is a destructive force?
The process of breaking rock and sediment into smaller pieces.
What is mechanical weathering?
Volcano
What is an opening in the crust through which lava flows?
This separates the tectonic boundary of the Pacific and North America boundary.
What is the San Andreas Fault?
Mid-Atlantic Ridge or the Great Rift Valley form from.
What is plates separating? This is specifically called the divergent boundary.
The process of dropping sediment in a new location.
What is deposition?
Rocks and sediment weather and move elsewhere.
What is erosion?
There are two main types of the openings in Earth's surface or crust.
What are the Shield Volcanoes, Composite Volcanoes?
This is described as a destructive force because it can break apart or make destructive changes to the Earth's surface.
What is an earthquake?
The four examples of constructive forces.
What is sediment (deposition), tectonic plates, crust deformation, volcanoes?
Water, oxygen, carbon and other chemicals in the atmosphere are the main reason for this.
What is chemical weathering?
The process of breaking down of rocks and land due to forces like gravity, wind, water, ice, living organisms, and chemicals in the atmosphere.
What is weathering
The process of sediment being carried and deposited, which creates new landforms is a constructive force. What are the three ways or agents that complete this process?
What is wind, water, and ice?
An agent that is a destructive and constructive force.
What is ice (glaciers)?
