Exogenic Processes

It is gravity-induced downslope movement of rock material

• Landslide

• Rock Fall

• Mass Wasting

A surface process characterized by removal of rock particles from where they were formed

• Oxidation

• Rock Fall

• Soil Erosion

Involves the action of carbon dioxide and water and affects carbonate rocks

• Carbonation

• Oxidation

• Expansion

What specific type of weathering is this?

• Oxidation

• Thermal Contraction and Expansion

• Carbonation

Mechanical breakdown of rocks

• Chemical Weathering

• Physical Weathering

• Biological Weatherin

Geomorphic processes that originate at the Earth’s surface and work to decrease relief

• Exogenic Processes

• Endogenic Processes

• Hexagenic Processes

involves rock-forming minerals that dissolve in water

• Solution

• Carbonation

• Oxidation

Slow migration of particles to successively lower elevations

• Landslide

• Rockfall

• Creep

What specific type of slide is this?

• Slump

• Landslide

• Erosion

It is the breakdown of rock material at and near Earth’s surface

• Weathering

• Mass Wasting

• Erosion
