M5: Exogenic Process Flashcards
Process occuring on the earth’s surface and that generally reduce relief
Exogenic Process
Deforms
Degration
Something is forming
Aggradation
is the
breakdown of rocks into pieces without any change in its
composition. I
Physical Weathering
The rocks expands, cools, and become brittle and fractured
Pressure
Rock expands and causes fracture when expose to high and low ___
Temperature
The water gets inside the rock and contributes the reason of expanding and fracture
Frost Wedging
The breakdown of rocks is caused by impact and friction
Abrasion
roots grows and cause penetration into the rock and breaks
Organic Activity
Activities such as digging cultivating land contribute to physical weathering
Human Activities
Animals like rats excavate the ground to create a space for habitation
Burrowing Animals
Effects to the rock through the pressure of chemical in water and acid rain
Chemical Weathering
What are the four (4) types of chemical weathering?
(1) Reaction with Water, (2) Reaction with Oxygen, (3) Reaction with Acid, (4) Reactions with Organism
The geological process in which earth materials are transported from one place to another
Erosion
Refers to rocks changing their physical properties without changing their chemical composition
Physical Erosion
