Which of the following is an example of a constructive process, and why?

• Erosion, because it breaks down landforms.

• Beavers building a dam, because it creates a new structure.

• Earthquake, because it causes land to shake.

• Landslide, because it displaces land.

What process is involved when plant roots hold soil in place, and why is it considered constructive?

• Destructive process, because it breaks rocks.

• Constructive process, because it prevents soil erosion.

Which of the following is a destructive process, and why?

• Deposition, because it builds up landforms.

• Construction of a new building, because it creates structures.

• Weathering, because it breaks down rocks.

• Terrace cultivation, because it conserves soil.

Which example is associated with a destructive process, and why?

• Delta formation, because it deposits sediments.

• Glacier movement, because it erodes land.

• Sand dunes, because they are formed by deposition.

• Earthquake, because it causes land to shake and break.

• By only eroding land, which is destructive.

• By only depositing materials, which is constructive.

• By eroding land (destructive) and depositing materials (constructive).

• By causing earthquakes, which is destructive.

• It destroys land with eruptions (destructive) and creates new land with lava (constructive).

• It causes landslides, which is destructive.

• Deposition, because it builds up landforms.

• Earthquake, because it causes land to shake.

• Landslide, because it displaces land.

Analyze how terrace cultivation is a constructive process, and explain why.

• It causes soil erosion, which is destructive.

• It prevents landslides, which is constructive.

• It helps in soil conservation and creates flat land for farming, which is constructive.
