Answer:

The answer is b (destructive)

Explanation:

There are 2 types of destructive forces that wear away mountains and other features:

  • Slow forces

The 2 main destructive forces that wear down mountains and land features of the earth slowly and steadily are weathering and erosion. Weathering is the breaking down of rocks due to forces such as wind and water. The pieces of rock are then moved elsewhere through the process of erosion. The classic examples of weathering and erosion are The Grand Canyon and Monument Valley in Arizona.  

  • Quick forces

Quick destructive forces are earthquake and tsunami that can eliminate the features of our Earth in minutes or even in seconds. Tsunami can smooth the Earth surface and erase hills and mountains. A tsunami can take hundreds of km of Earth and drag it back to the ocean floor. Earthquake can cause the Earth to crack, causing sinkholes. Quick destructive force can also be a landslide. Mountain sides can move to the base of a mountain in seconds.
