What is an earthquake?

• A sudden movement of the Earth's crust caused by a release of stress accumulated along geological faults or by volcanic activity.
• a.  energy that builds up inside a volcanic mountain
• a.  energy being released when erosion occurs
• a.  molten rock pushing up through Earth's surface.

How do earthquakes form?

• a.  energy from a hurricane or tornado
• a.  energy that builds up inside a volcanic mountain
• a.  energy being released when crustal plates move
• a.  the crust expands due to the heat.

How are earthquakes CONSTRUCTIVE?

• they are only destructive!
• convergent boundaries build up the crust and form mountains
• They construct buildings
• The cause damage to buildings and other landforms

what is deposition?

• volcanoes erupting
• water freezing into a glacier
• water flowing to the mouth of a river
• dropping off of sediment 

what are 3 agents of depostion

• water, wind, ice
• ice, water, sand
• soild, liquid, and gas
• wind, ice, glacier

The process by which running water, wind, or ice carry away bits of broken-up rock

• weathering
• sedimentation
• erosion
• cementation
