Constructive and Destructive Forces Study Guide
Constructive Forces
Processes that create landforms (deposition,
landslides, volcanic eruptions, floods
Destructive Forces
Processes that wear away and break down
landforms
Landslide
constructive/ They are mass movements of land due to
destructive
gravity
Flood
constructive/ Occur when a large amount of water covers
destructive
land that is usually dry
Volcanoes
constructive/ are mountains with openings in Earth’s crust
destructive
through which magma, gases, and ash reach
Earth’s surface
Deposition
constructive
The dropping, or depositing, of sediments by
water, wind, or ice.
Erosion
destructive
The movement of sediments and soil by wind,
water, ice, and gravity.
Earthquakes
destructive
Weathering
destructive
Vibrations on Earth’s surface caused by sudden
movement in Earth, often along a fault, a break
in Earth’s surface.
A general term used to describe processes that
break down rocks at or near the surface of the
earth
Physical Weathering
destructive
A type of weathering that causes change in the
size or shape of rocks without changing the
chemical makeup of the rock
Chemical Weathering
destructive
A type of weathering that causes a change in
the minerals that makeup of the rock. Oxygen,
carbon dioxide and acids cause chemical
weathering.
