Study Notes

Exogenous Processes

  • Exogenous processes include weathering, erosion, and sedimentation.
  • Weathering breaks down rock through mechanical or chemical interactions and environmental factors like temperature and moisture.
  • Erosion involves the displacement of soil and rock by natural forces such as wind, water, or ice, altering landscapes.

Earth's Internal Processes

  • Earth’s internal heat drives processes such as tectonic movements and volcanic activity.
  • These internal processes contribute to mountain formation, earthquakes, and the cycling of materials within the Earth.
  • The combination of exogenous processes and internal heat influences the continuous reshaping of Earth's surface.
