It floods the land.
B
It adds new land.
C
It takes land away.
D
It breaks apart land.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Volcanoes are one of the most prominent examples of constructive forces. During a volcanic eruption, the molten lava spills out. The hot molten lava gets solidified upon cooling and becomes hard with time. This leads to the formation of a rock-like structure on the ground.

Detailed explanation-2: -Volcanic materials ultimately break down and weather to form some of the most fertile soils on Earth, cultivation of which has produced abundant food and fostered civilizations.

Detailed explanation-3: -New land may also emerge from lava that erupts from beneath the water. This is one way that new land is created. Lava erupts into the Pacific Ocean in Hawaii, creating new land.

Detailed explanation-4: -How do constructive forces change the land’s surface? They build things up on the earths surfaces such as mountains and land masses. How do destructive forces change the land’s surface? They bring landforms down by destroying and wearing away land masses through weathering and erosion.

Detailed explanation-5: -Volcanic processes are constantly changing the Earth. Eruptions can create new islands, build and destroy mountains, and alter landscapes.
