Examples include deposition, volcanoes, faults the melted, molten rock beneath Earth's surface a theory that explained how continents shift, or change position on Earth's surface the pieces of Earth's crust that fit together and form the top layer of the Earth how the movement of energy in an earthquake is measured a mountain made of lava, ash, or other materials from eruptions a natural occurrence that breaks down the surrounding area. Examples include weathering, erosion, earthquakes, volcanoes, organisms
