What are Constructive Forces? Constructive Forces are processes that help build or construct the Earth. Constructive forces can deposit soil or silt in a river. There are 3 main constructive forces: Crustal Deformation, Deposition of Sediment, and Volcanic Eruptions.
What are Destructive Forces? Destructive forces break the Earth down. Earthquakes, volcanoes, and rivers are examples of active destructive forces.
