• What are surface features?– Surface features are landforms and bodies of
water that cover the Earth’s surface such as:• Mountains, valleys, canyons, gorges, beaches,
sand dunes, barrier Islands, flood-plains, moraines, and drumlins, volcanoes, oceans, lakes, and rivers

Constructive ProcessConstructive ProcessEssential QuestionsEssential Questions
• How can a surface feature be changed by a constructive process?– By forces such as wind, water, ice, through
the process of deposition.– The movement of the Earth’s crust

• How can constructive and destructive processes be controlled through the use of technology?
• How does technology affect constructive and destructive processes?
• What are examples of technology used to control constructive and destructive processes?
Effects on Constructive Effects on Constructive ProcessesProcesses
• Dam – a structure built across a river to control its flow– Positive Effect
• Flood Control• Hydroelectric Power
– Negative Effect• Holds back sediment
– Prevents deposition of flood plains, deltas, and beaches
Effects on Destructive ProcessesEffects on Destructive Processes
• Prevention of beach erosion– Groin – a structure built perpendicular to the beach.
• Positive Effect– Traps sand that moves along the shore and causing the beach to
build up.
• Negative Effect– Beach Erosion down stream is worse.
– Seawall – a structure built parallel to the shore• Positive Effect
– Protects land behind if from ocean the ocean waves
• Negative Effect– Ocean side beach will erode
– Beach Nourishment – sand from ocean or nearby rivers are pumped onto the beach

shore• Positive Effect
–Protects land behind if from ocean the ocean waves
• Negative Effect–Ocean side beach will erode
– Beach Nourishment – sand from ocean or nearby rivers are pumped onto the beach
Effects on Destructive ProcessesEffects on Destructive Processes
• Prevention of soil erosion– Contour Plowing – method in which farmers plow across
the sided of hill instead of down– Terracing – the planting of corps on terraces (steps) built
into steep hillsides.– Windbreaks – rows of plants or fences.
• Slow down wind and limit the distance it can carry soil.
– Vegetation – used to hold soil in place– Storm drain management – a system of drains
• Prevents flooding and soil erosion
Effects of Volcanoes and Effects of Volcanoes and EarthquakesEarthquakes
• Volcanoes and Earthquakes can not be controlled; – However scientist have ways to determine when
and where these they might occur.• Volcanoes –
– instruments are used to detect changes in volcanoes
• Earthquakes – – Detailed maps show major faults
– Safety Education
– No new buildings on or near faults
– Building codes to resists earthquakes
– Seismographs – measures earthquakes on a rector scale
