What are exogenic geological processes?
What are exogenic geological processes?
Exogenic geological processes include geological phenomena and processes that originate externally to the Earth’s surface. They are genetically related to the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere, and therefore to processes of weathering, erosion, transportation, deposition, denudation, etc.
How do exogenic factors and processes influence the Earth’s surface?
How do exogenic factors and processes influence the Earth’s surface?
The rate and activity of exogenic factors and processes very often depend on local conditions and can also be accelerated by human action. The combined functioning of exogenic and endogenic factors influences the present complicated picture of the Earth’s surface.
What factors and processes are included in exogenic processes?
What factors and processes are included in exogenic processes?
Exogenic factors and processes include weathering, erosion, transportation, deposition, denudation, etc. They could also have sources outside the Earth, for instance under the influence of the Sun, Moon, etc.
