What is a constructive force?

• A force that destroys nature

• A process that builds up the Earth's surface to deposit sediments and create new landforms.

• A process that destroys the Earth's surface to deposit sediments and create new landforms.

• A process that prevents or predicts destructive forces.

What are destructive forces?

• Processes by which rock is broken down, such as erosion and weathering, either through the violent actions of volcanoes and earthquakes or by the steady flow of a river.

• Processes by which rock is deposited through deposition.

• Processes by which mountains are formed.

• Processes that build up the Earth's surface to deposit sediments and create new landforms.

What is technology?

• Anything electrical.

• The application of scientific knowledge for entertainment purposes.

• The application of scientific knowledge for practical (or reasonable) purposes.

How is technology used alongside constructive and destructive forces?

• To destroy all destructive forces.

• To predict or even prevent constructive or destructive forces

• To add to or benefit constructive forces.

• It does not have an effect on the two types of forces.

What is a seismograph?

• An instrument that measures and records details of earthquakes, such as force and duration

• An instrument that forecasts an earthquake.

• An tool that can stop or prevent an earthquake.

• None of the above.

How do seismographs relate to tsunamis?

• They can be used to measure the height of ocean waves during a tsunami.

• They cannot be used in relation to tsunamis.

• They can be used to predict a tsunami after an earthquake

• They can be used to predict the weather surrounding a tsunami.

What is a dam?

• A barrier between an ocean and a beach.

• A barrier between mountains and valleys.

• A barrier between two parts of a body of water.

• All of the above.

How does a dam prevent flooding?

• It causes flooding.

• By holding back water from a designated area.

• By allowing water to flow freely through an area.

• None of the above.
