9 Questions
What are the two main ways in which exogenic forces work on the earth's surface?
Weathering and erosion
What are the main agents of erosion?
Running water (river), sea waves, moving ice (glacier), and wind
Define weathering and erosion in the context of landform formation.
Weathering involves disintegration and decomposition of rocks, while erosion is the removal and deposition of broken rock materials.
What happens to the broken rock materials during erosion?
They are removed from the place of origin and deposited elsewhere.
What is the source of a river?
The place where the river originates
Where does a river usually flow into?
A large water body such as a sea, ocean, or lake
What are the different agents that contribute to the disintegration of rocks during weathering?
Heat, cold, frost action, plants, animals, and chemical reactions
How are different landforms created by erosion and deposition?
The transported materials are deposited at different places, forming various landforms.
What is the mouth of a river?
The place where the river joins another water body
Test your knowledge on the major landforms and the forces that shape them on Earth's surface, including endogenic and exogenic forces like weathering and erosion. Learn about the process of disintegration, decomposition, and the agents involved in weathering.
