Define: Which of the following is a destructive process that breaks down Earth's surface?

• Tectonic Activity

• Deposition

• Erosion

• Constructive Processes

Geologic Process - ​ ​ (a)  

• Tectonic Activity: Movement of Earth’s plates forming mountains processes like subduction and collision, crustal deformation, volcanoes.

Deposition: Sediments are laid down, creating new landforms like deltas.

Geologic Process - ​ ​ (b)  

• Erosion: Wearing away of soil and rock by water, wind, or ice.

Weathering: Breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces.

​

• Constructive Processes: Build up Earth’s surface.
• Destructive Processes: Break down Earth’s surface
• No listed here

Which are examples of the interaction between constructive and destructive process in geology that shape Earth's surface ?

• Streams and Floodplains: Shaped by water flow, erosion, and deposition

• A volcanic eruption forming a new island, later eroded by waves

• Maps made that reflect the slope of the land

• Coastlines: Erosion and deposition by waves create beaches, cliffs.

Which are factors that affecting erosion, deposition and weathering?

Choose all that apply

• • Rock and Soil Characteristics: Different materials erode at different rates.

• Climate: Temperature and precipitation influence erosion and weathering.

• Topography: Slope steepness affects erosion rates.

• Location: Proximity to water bodies

• Topographical maps that shape of Earth’s surface with lines that represent different elevations

These are examples of what type of weathering?​

-Ice (ice wedging, freezing and thawing)

-Abrasion (rocks rubbing together, sand blowing over rocks)

-Plants (roots growing into rock and breaking it)

-Animals (Burrow underground and mix up rocks)

-Running water (water flowing over rocks will break off small pieces)
