Detailed explanation-2: -Collection and analysis of data indicates that constructive forces include crustal deformation, faulting, volcanic eruption and deposition of sediment, while destructive forces include weathering and erosion.

Detailed explanation-3: -Examples of destructive forces are weathering and erosion. These forces tend to break down the features of the Earth’s surface. Destructive forces often result in the loss of existing types of land.
