EXOGENIC PROCESSES

Background Information for the Learners

Exogenic Process include geological phenomena and processes that originate

externally to the Earth's surface. They are genetically related to the atmosphere,
hydrosphere and biosphere, and therefore to processes of weathering, erosion,
transportation, deposition, denudation etc.

TYPES OF EXOGENIC PROCESSES

1. Weathering
- breaks down and loosens the surface minerals of rock so they can be
transported away by agents of erosion such as water, wind and ice. It can be
classified as physical weathering or chemical weathering. Refer to figure below.

2.Erosion – is when fragments are move from one place to another by various
agents, such as water, glacier and wind.
a.Water – running water is the primary agent of erosion on Earth. Most running
water is found in streams and rivers.
b.Glaciers – is a thick large mass of ice formed hundreds or thousands of years.
They can erode land through plucking and abrasions.
c.Wind – carries dust, sand, and volcanic ash from one place to another, in dry
areas, strong wind wears away soft rocks, and also polishes rocks and cliffs until they
are smooth. Wind can also erode materials until nothing is left

3. Deposition
- aggradation or accumulation of weathered sediments to create different
land forms.
PAOAY SAND Dunes are large masses of wind- blown
sand, and are most common in deserted
DUNES
environments, such as the Sahara, and
also near beaches. An area with dunes is
called a dune system. In physical
geography, a dune is a hill of loose sand
built by aeolian processes or the flow of
water.

A river delta is a landform created by

deposition of sediment that is carried by a
river as the flow leaves its mouth and
enters slower-moving or stagnant water.

What is the driving force behind deposition and erosion?

The driving forces behind weathering, deposition and erosion are water, wind, ice
(glaciers) and gravity. All of these forces can cause weathering and erosion of Earth
materials, and after they are finished, then those same forces stop, and deposition
happens. They make up the constructive and destructive forces that shape Earth's
surface and its landforms

1.Temperature changes can also contribute to mechanical weathering in a process
called thermal stress. Changes in temperature cause rock to expand (with heat) and
contract (with cold). As this happens over and over again, the structure of the rock
weakens. Over time, it crumbles.

2.Humans cause increases in acid rain and pollution, which increase the amount of
weathering agents in the air and water, and then on land. Other activities such as strip-
mining and agriculture can affect the ability of the land to absorb rain, increase erosion
and run-off, and increase chemicals in the groundwater.

3.Characteristics and formation of beaches, spits and bars. If rocks and cliffs are being
continually weathered, eroded and moved then it stands to reason that this will generate
a lot of material that will need to be deposited (or laid down) somewhere else along the
coastline.
