Earth Surface Processes and Landforms

Earth surface processes are natural activities like erosion, weathering, and deposition that shape the land over time. These processes break down rocks, wear away landforms, or deposit sediments elsewhere. Landforms are the physical features resulting from these processes, such as valleys, mountains, plains, and coastlines. Together, they create the diverse landscape we see on Earth, constantly changing due to natural forces like wind, water, ice, and gravity. Understanding these processes helps explain how our planet’s surface evolves and how different features form and change over time.
