**Earth has different landforms, or features. Landforms are made by constructive and destructive forces within and upon the Earth. Scientists use technology to alter and protect landforms.**

Standards:
S5E1 Constructive & Destructive Processes Students will identify surface features of the Earth caused by constructive and destructive processes. __ S5e1a Constructive Processes __ Identify surface features caused by constructive processes  Deposition (Deltas, sand dunes, etc.) -Earthquakes- Volcanoes- Faults __ S5e1b Destructive Processes __ Identify and find examples of surface features caused by destructive processes. Erosion (water - rivers and oceans, wind) Weathering -Impact of organisms -Earthquake -Volcano __ S5e1c Technology, Human Intervantions, and Constructive and Destructive Processes __ 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, (dams, levees, storm drain management, etc.) beach reclamation (Georgia coastal islands)
