Earthquakes- A violent shaking of the Earth's crust caused by the release of built-up energy along a fault.
S5E1 Students will identify surface features of the Earth caused by constructive and destructive processes.
a. Identfy surfact features caused by constructive processes:
*Earthquakes
b. Identify and find examples of surface features caused by destructive processes:
*Earthquakes
The Power of Earthquakes
Earthquakes can be both constructive and destructive forces. When the fault lines move they can cause extensive damage. They also create new land forms.
