Exogenic Processes

Exogenic processes are natural activities that occur on Earth’s surface, driven by external forces like wind, water, and ice. These processes shape the landscape through erosion, weathering, and sedimentation. For example, rivers carve valleys, glaciers grind mountains, and wind shapes deserts. These actions break down rocks and transport materials, gradually transforming the environment. Exogenic processes are essential for creating soil and habitats, influencing ecosystems, and contributing to the natural cycle of the planet’s surface.
