Constructive and Destructive processes, landforms, weathering, erosion, deposition - EARTH SCIENCE

Earth's surface is always changing.  Some changes take thousands of years.  Other changes happen within minutes.  These surface changes are caused by constructive and destructive processes.  Constructive processes build up the Earth's surface.  Destructive processes tear down the Earth's surface.  Sometimes humans use technology to alter or interfere with changes in the surface of the Earth.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
earthquake		overflow of water on land that is usually dry
levee		storm with powerful wind and heavy rain
delta		fast spinning wind shaped like a cone
seismograph		to burst forth
volcano		strong shaking of the ground
erupt		hole created when rock and gasses burst through the earth's surface
dam		machine used to study earthquakes
flood		landform created from deposition at the mouth of a river
hurricane		man-made structure built across a river to prevent flooding
tornado		man-made structure that runs along the sides of a river to help prevent flooding
