Geomorphic processes are natural processes that shape the Earth’s surface. These processes can be broadly classified into two categories: endogenic and exogenic processes.
- Endogenic processes are powered by internal energy sources and are responsible for the formation of landforms such as mountains, plateaus, and volcanoes. These processes are driven by tectonic activity, which involves the movement of the Earth’s plates and includes mountain building, volcanic activity, and earthquakes.
- Exogenic processes, on the other hand, are powered by external energy sources such as the sun, wind, and water. These processes are responsible for the weathering, erosion, and deposition of sediments, and include processes such as fluvial erosion, glacial erosion, wind erosion, and coastal erosion.
