EXOGENIC

Question 1

It includes geological phenomena
and processes that originate externally to the Earth’s surface. They are genetically related to the atmosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere

Answer 1

Exogenic Process

Question 2

the on – site breakdown of rock and its eventual transformation into sediments

Answer 2

WEATHERING

Question 3

Types of Weathering?

Answer 3

Mechanical, Chemical, Biological

Question 4

Also known to be PHYSICAL
WEATHERING. It refers to the physical breakdown of a rock into unconnected grains or chunks without changing its composition.

Answer 4

MECHANICAL WEATHERING

Question 5

Types of Mechanical Weathering?

Answer 5

Exfoliation, Frost Wedging, Root Wedging, and Thermal Expansion

Question 6

A form of mechanical weathering in which curved plates of rock are stripped from rock below.

Answer 6

Exfoliation

Question 7

In temperate regions, or high altitudes, water inside the fractures of rocks experience regular freezing and thawing, thus it causes the joints to expand and grow, causing pieces of rocks to detach.

Answer 7

Frost Wedging

Question 8

Joints also expand and grow, causing pieces of rocks detach.

Answer 8

Root Wedging

Question 9

Occurs when a rock is exposed to high temperature such as forest fire

Answer 9

Thermal Expansion

Question 10

Occurs when there are chemical changes in at least some of the composition of the rock

Answer 10

Chemical Weathering

Question 11

Types of Chemical Weathering

Answer 11

Dissolution, Hydrolysis, Oxidation, and Hydration

Question 12

Happens in certain minerals which are dissolved in water

Answer 12

DISSOLUTION

Question 13

Occurs when water reacts with the minerals and breaks them down

Answer 13

HYDROLYSIS

Question 14

the reaction of oxygen with minerals in the rock, forms oxides

Answer 14

OXIDATION

Question 15

Occurs when water is absorbed into the crystal structure of the mineral, causing it to expand

Answer 15

HYDRATION

Question 16

occur in roots of plants, fungi and lichens secrete organic acids that dissolves minerals and nutrients

Answer 16

BIOLOGICAL WEATHERING

Question 17

the separation and removal of weathered and unweathered rocks and soil from its substrate due to gravity or transporting agents like wind, water or gravity

Answer 17

EROSION

Question 18

It commonly occurs in flat, bare areas or dry, sandy, and loose soils and detaches soil particles and transports them by the wind.

Answer 18

WIND EROSION

Question 19

occurs when rain or snowmelt displaces the soil on the ground and is the most common erosion agent

Answer 19

WATER EROSION

Question 20

Also known to be mass movement and it refers to the downslope movement of rock, soil and ice due to gravity

Answer 20

MASS WASTING

Question 21

a process in which matter, usually particles of sediment, rocks, or soil, is added to a surface. It can be transported as pebbles, sand and mud, or as salts dissolved in water and sometimes can become new landforms like mountains and river deltas

Answer 21

DEPOSITION
