Destructive or Constructive

The converging of two tectonic plates forming a mountain would be an example of a destructive force

• Yes, it is a destructive process because when the tectonic plates collide they caused debris to form.

• No, this a constructive process because convergent boundaries create land forms known as mountains.

Applying practical application of knowledge of pure sciences, such as physics or chemistry to construct bridges, buildings, mines, engines, etc is known as
