what is an example of a destructive geological process
Tear it down Build it up. Destructive Processes are when things happen to the earth that destroy or break down part of it. One example of a destructive process is a river wearing away the rocks and dirt to form a canyon. In the story, an example of a destructive process was the erosion that carried the dirt and the minerals from rocks down into the cave. Weathering is the process that breaks rocks down into pieces called sediment.
