 * learn about constructive processes that make new land. Examples of this include deposition (deltas and sand dunes), earthquakes, volcanoes, and faults.
 * find examples of [[file:Weathering Park.pdf|destructive ]]processes that wear away land. Examples of this include e rosion (water—rivers and oceans, wind), weathering, impact of organisms, earthquakes and volcanoes.
 * consider the role of technology and human intervention in the control of constructive and destructive processes. Examples include technology that helps seismologists to predict earthquakes, ways to control floods (dams, levees, storm drain management), and the constant maintaining of Georgia beaches (restoring them from constant erosion).
