Is a RIVER DELTA formed by a constructive or destructive force?
Constructive Force
Destructive Force
Choose the CONSTRUCTIVE earth force that best describes the way a RIVER DELTA is formed.
Weathering
Deposition
Erosion
Is a MOUNTAIN formed by a constructive or destructive force?
Constructive
Destructive
Choose TWO ways a mountain forms:
A volcanic eruption- the lava cools and builds up the surface of the mountain
Two tectonic plates push up against one another and push rocks and soil up
Rocks and soil are broken down and eroded and then deposited to new area
two tectonic plates separate and pull apart and create a new mountain
Volcanoes are formed by:
Constructive forces
Destructive Forces
Both Constructive and Destructive Forces
Which statement best describes how a volcano is a constructive force?
Wind erosion blows the lava into piles, building up the surface of the volcano.
The hot molten rock cools and builds up the surface of the land around the volcano.
The pressure created by the hot molten rock inside the volcano builds up and creates an explosion, leaving a crater at the peak.
Which statement best describes how a volcano is a destructive force?
Deposition of lava builds up the surface of the volcano,
Wind erosion blows the lava into piles, building up the surface of the volcano.
The hot molten rock cools and builds up the surface of the land around the volcano.
The pressure created by the hot molten rock inside the volcano builds up and creates an explosion, leaving a crater at the peak.
How are sand dunes formed?
Weathering blows sand into piles using deposition.
Wind erosion blows sand and it builds up into piles using deposition.
Deposition is a constructive force.
Water erosion from ocean waves wash sand into piles.
Is it a constructive or destructive force that creates a sand dune?
Destructive Force
Constructive Force
