the surface of the earth, including under the ocean, is made up of _______________

• tectonic plates

• atmosphere
• core
• mantle

constructive forces shape the surface of the earth by _________ landforms such as ________ deltas, sand dunes, islands, and U shaped valleys.

• building, mountains

• destroying, buttes

• shaping, caves

destructive forces shape the surface of the earth by _________ it down and creating landforms such a as cliffs, arches, and ________

• wearing, buttes

• building, caves

how can wind be an agent in Both constructive and destructive process?

• Wind can only cause erosion, not constructive processes.
• Wind can transport sediment to form sand dunes (constructive) and also erode rocks through abrasion (deconstructive).
• Wind has no impact on landforms, it only affects the atmosphere.
• Wind can only create sand dunes, not erode rocks.
