Overview
Exogenetic processes are external forces that continuously shape and modify Earth's surface through erosion, transportation, and deposition. In this chapter, we study how different agents like rivers, glaciers, wind, sea waves, and groundwater create various landforms through their continuous work.
Key Concepts
Rivers perform three main functions
Rivers perform three main functions: erosion (cutting through rocks and soil), transportation (carrying sediments), and deposition (dropping sediments
Glaciers are moving masses of ice
Glaciers are moving masses of ice that form in cold regions where snow accumulates and compresses. Despite moving slowly (1 cm to 1 m per day), glacie
Wind is most effective in arid
Wind is most effective in arid and semi-arid regions where vegetation is sparse. It erodes rocks through abrasion (sandblasting effect) and deflation
Sea waves are formed by wind
Sea waves are formed by wind and tides. They erode coastlines through hydraulic action and corrasion (using rock fragments to wear away cliffs). Waves
Groundwater moves through underground rock layers
Groundwater moves through underground rock layers, dissolving soluble minerals (especially limestone) and creating underground cavities. When groundwa
