Under the influence of the heat flow or under the direct influence of the heat carried by rising abyssal magma , magma chambers form in the crust itself. Reaching the near surface parts, the magma is intruded into them in the form of variously shaped intrusive bodies or is extruded onto the surface , forming volcanoes. Gravitational differentiation has led to the stratification of the earth into geospheres of varying density. Is also manifested in the form of tectonic movements , which, in turn, lead to the tectonic deformation of crustal and upper mantle rocks. The accumulation and subsequent discharge of tectonic stresses along active faults causes ______. It is hypothesized that a combination of these processes leads to the temporal unevenness of the release of heat and light matter toward the surface , which.

Exogenic processes include geological phenomena and processes that originate externally to the Earth’s surface. Generally related to the: atmosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere, and therefore to processes of: o weathering, o erosion, o transportation, o deposition, o denudation etc. Exogenic factors and processes could also have sources outside Earth, for instance under the influence of the Sun, Moon, etc. The above mentioned processes constitute essential landform-shaping factors. Their rate and activity very often depends on local conditions, and can also be accelerated by human actions. The combined functions of exogenic and endogenic factors influences the present complicated picture of the Earth’s surface.

Weathering is the decomposition and disintegration of rocks and minerals at the Earth’s surface. Erosion is the removal of weathered rocks and minerals by moving water, wind, glaciers and gravity. The four processes – weathering, erosion, transportation and deposition work together to modify the earth’s surface.

Water expands when it freezes. If water accumulates in a crack and then freezes, its expansion pushes the rock apart and the process is called ______
Water expands when it freezes. If water accumulates in a crack and then freezes, its expansion pushes the rock apart and the process is called ______
Water expands when it freezes. If water accumulates in a crack and then freezes, its expansion pushes the rock apart and the process is called frost wedging. In a temperate climate, water may freeze at night and thaw during the day. Ice cements the rock temporarily, but when it melts, the rock fragments may tumble from a steep cliff. Large piles of loose angular rocks, called talus slopes, lie beneath many cliffs. These rocks fell from the cliffs mainly as a result of ______
