- Constructive Forces- forces such as crustal deformation, faulting, volcanic eruptions and deposition of sediment that creates landforms
- Destructive Forces- forces such as weathering and erosion that creates landforms
- Weathering- breaking down of rock by nature
- Erosion- movement of rock and soil caused by water, wind, and ice
- Crustal Deformation- bending and tilting of Earth’s crust
- Faulting- breaking of rock formations
- Deposition of Sediment- settling of sediments moved by erosion
Haha, ok I was just asking!
