Landforms
Explain how natural processes (including weathering, erosion, deposition, landslides, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and floods) affect Earth’s oceans and land in constructive and destructive ways.

Now that you are experts on landforms, write a brief
summary of everything you’ve learned about landforms. Be sure to include information
about weathering and erosion, and the destructive and
constructive forces. Job Well Done!
