Get Constructive And Destructive Forces

Landforms are a result of a combination of constructive and destructive forces. Collection and analysis of data indicates that constructive forces include crustal deformation, faulting, volcanic eruption and deposition of sediment, while destructive forces include weathering and erosion.

Chemical Weathering: the changing of materials in a rock by chemical processes. Erosion: the destructive movement of materials away from one place by wind, water, ice and gravity. Landslides: occur when gravity quickly pulls rock and dirt downhill. Floods: a great flow of water over an area that is usually dry land.

Constructive forces are processes that cause the Earth's surface to build up or rise. Examples include depositions, earthquakes, faults, and volcanoes.

Constructive Forces Sediment (Deltas, sand dunes, etc.) Tectonic Plates Colliding (Mountains) Crust deformation (Folding or Faulting) Volcanoes (makes Islands)

Constructive Forces Sediment (Deltas, sand dunes, etc.)

Constructive forces affect the earth's surface by building it up through the formation of new crust and/or landforms like mountains, islands, deltas, and sand dunes. But, while constructive forces are creating new landforms on the Earth, destructive forces are simultaneously wearing them down.

The processes for building new land are called constructive forces. Three of the main constructive forces are crustal deformation, volcanic eruptions, and deposition of sediment.
