Technology for Constructive and Destructive Forces

A state builds a dam across a river. How will the dam MOST LIKELY affect the region?

• It will prevent flooding by blocking high waves.

• It will rebuild an eroded floodplain by trapping sediment.

• It will prevent flooding by controlling the flow of the river.

• It will reduce erosion by providing a place for storm drains to drain into.

How is technology used alongside constructive and destructive forces?

• To destroy all destructive forces.

• To predict or even prevent constructive or destructive forces

• To add to or benefit constructive forces.

• It does not have an effect on the two types of forces.

What is a constructive force?

• A force that destroys nature

• A process that builds up the Earth's surface to deposit sediments and create new landforms.

• A process that destroys the Earth's surface to deposit sediments and create new landforms.

• A process that prevents or predicts destructive forces.

How does technology help in managing constructive forces?

• By enhancing the natural processes that build up the Earth's surface.

• By completely stopping the natural processes.

• By reversing the effects of constructive forces.

• By ignoring the natural processes.
