Exploring Earth's Surface Features: Constructive & Destructive Processes

Join a fascinating journey to discover the surface features shaped by constructive and destructive processes. Learn about deposition, faults, earthquakes, volcanoes, sediment deltas, sand dunes, hills, and more. Understand the topography and how technology and human intervention control these processes with seismological studies, flood control, and beach reclamation.

Presentation Transcript

  1. 5th Grade Earth ScienceLandforms S5E1. Students will identify surface features of the Earth caused by constructive and destructive processes.

  2. Identify surface features caused by constructive processes. Follow the links to learn about each type of constructive process… Deposition Faults…Earthquakes…Volcanoes How are these 3 things related? Do you see the root word? Sediment Deltas Sand Dunes Hills Stalagmites and Stalactites Mesas Plateaus Glaciers Barrier Islands Sand Spits Sand Bars Flood Plains Earth’s Layers Plates Focus and Epicenter Magnitude and Richter Scale Magma Lava Types of Volcanoes Types of Faults Mountains When you describe landforms in an area, you are describing that area’s topography. Topography is all the kinds on landforms in a certain area. Learn more about Georgia’s regions. How would you describe the topography of where we live?

  3. b. Identify and find examples of surface features caused by destructive processes. Follow the links to learn about each type of destructive process… Wind, water, & ice carry it away! Breaking it down! Yes, we cause destruction too! Erosion Weathering Erosion Game #1 Investigation Wind Erosion Game #2 Glaciers Gullies Ditches Plains Cliffs The Grand Canyon Mushroom Rocks Sink Holes Landslides Types of Weathering Impact of organisms Plants Animals and Humans Volcanoes Earthquakes

  4. c. Relate the role of technology and human intervention in the control of constructive and destructive processes. Examples include, but are not limited to Seismological studies Flood control Beach reclamation Seismology Seismologist Seismograph Building Construction Dams Levees Lakes Storm Drains Beach Restoration Dredging Jetties Reefs
