Pies and loaves of bread has a crust.
Our Earth has a crust too!

Surface features of the continental crust are often called landforms. They are always changing!
They change because of constructive and destructive processes.

Constructive Processes(Think: construct,
construction)
Constructive processes build up.
Destructive processes (Think: destruction)
Destructive processes tear down.
