Constructive and Destructive Forces Quiz Review

How can a volcano be both constructive and destructive?

• It's both constructive and destructive because it can form sand dunes and cause erosion.

• It's both constructive and destructive because the plate tectonics push the land forward and breaks apart other land.

• It's both constructive and destructive because it builds up land like islands and destroys land and vegetation from the lava.

• It is not both constructive and destructive.

Students are studying the constructive and destructive processes that shape Earth's surface. The teacher separates the students into five groups. She asks each group to build a model that represents either a constructive or a destructive process. Which description best summarizes the process shown in group Z's model?

• a constructive process of sand being deposited by gravity

• a constructive process of sand being deposited by wind

• a destructive process of sand being removed through erosion

• a destructive process of sand being removed through weathering

A student claims that some landforms can be created quickly through constructive processes. Which example should she choose as an argument to BEST support her claim?

• She should choose a canyon that can be created by flowing water carving through rock.

• She should choose an island that can be created by cooling lava from a volcano eruption.

• She should choose a delta that can be created by depositing sand at the mouth of a flowing river.

• She should choose a valley that can be created by a glacier changing the landscape as it retreats.
