Examples include deposition, volcanoes, faults area around the Pacific Ocean where there is a large number of earthquakes and some of the Earth's most active volcanoes occur the point underground where the energy buildup is released the instrument used to measure the intensity of an earthquake a theory that explained how continents shift, or change position on Earth's surface organisms can be destructive as they eat away and/or destroy or change the landscape of the world a crack in the Earth's surface where two plates meet a natural occurrence that breaks down the surrounding area. Examples include weathering, erosion, earthquakes, volcanoes, organisms the dropping of sediment, creates a new landform (deltas and sand dunes) the scale used to determine the strength of an earthquake (0-10.0 scale with 6.0+ being pretty powerful) the pieces of Earth's crust that fit together and form the top layer of the Earth a large tidal wave caused by an earthquake that happens under water the molten rock when it reaches Earth's surface A former "supercontinent" on the Earth that included all the present continents, which broke up and drifted apart a mountain made of lava, ash, or other materials from eruptions the release of energy when plates shift the point on Earth's surface that is directly above the focus of the earthquake the melted, molten rock beneath Earth's surface
