7 Questions
Define geomorphic processes.
Processes that modify the Earth's surface.
What are exogenic processes?
Processes that act on the Earth's surface very slowly, wearing down highland areas and depositing material on lowland areas.
What is gradation of the land?
The process that attempts to remove unevenness of the surface on land and reduce them to an almost even surface.
Explain degradation of the Earth's surface.
Degradation is the process of lowering the Earth's surface due to weathering, erosion, mass wasting, and denudation.
How do exogenic processes affect the Earth's surface?
Exogenic processes wear down highland areas and deposit material on lowland areas.
Why is the Earth's surface always changing?
Due to the action of geomorphic processes that modify the landforms.
What are the two main categories of geomorphic processes?
Internal (endogenic) and external (exogenic) processes.
Explore the different natural processes that lead to changes in the Earth's surface in this quiz. Test your knowledge on geomorphic processes and how they shape the landform features on our planet.
