Topics in Geomorphic Processes

1

Introduction to Geomorphic Processes

  • Earth's surface is uneven due to continuous action of internal and external forces
  • Endogenic forces (internal) - build up and elevate parts of Earth's crust
  • Exogenic forces (external) - wear down relief and fill up depressions
2

Endogenic Processes

  • Energy source: Radioactivity, rotational and tidal friction, primordial heat
  • Diastrophism includes all crustal movements and deformations
  • Four types of diastrophic processes: Orogenic, Epeirogenic, Earthquakes, Plate tectonics
3

Exogenic Processes and Denudation

  • Energy source: Solar energy through atmospheric processes
  • Gravity is the fundamental driving force for all exogenic processes
  • Climate (temperature and precipitation) controls process intensity
4

Weathering Processes

  • Definition: Mechanical disintegration and chemical decomposition of rocks
  • In-situ process with little or no motion of materials
  • Three types: Chemical, Physical/Mechanical, Biological
