Study Notes
- Earth processes are dynamic mechanisms that shape the earth's landform and surfaces.
- These processes can be destructive or constructive.
- There are two classifications of earth processes: endogenic and exogenic.
- Endogenic processes occur beneath the earth and are associated with energy from the earth's interior.
- Examples of endogenic processes include volcanism, earthquakes, folding, and faulting.
- Exogenic processes occur on the earth's surface due to exogenic forces.
- Exogenic processes are destructive and responsible for the degradation and sculpting of the earth's surface.
- Examples of exogenic processes include weathering, erosion, and deposition.
- Weathering breaks down or dissolves rocks and minerals.
- Erosion is the movement of sediment from broken rock, and deposition is the dropping of sediment to a new place.
