Answer:
1.Tectonic plates are able to move because the Earth's lithosphere has greater mechanical strength than the underlying asthenosphere. Lateral density variations in the mantle result in convection; that is, the slow creeping motion of Earth's solid mantle.
2.Endogenic (or endogenetic) factors are agents supplying energy for actions that are located within the earth. ... Exogenic (or exogenetic) factors are agents supplying energy for actions that are located at or near the earth's surface. Exogenic factors are usually driven by gravity or atmospheric forces.
3.Erosion is the geological process in which earthen materials are worn away and transported by natural forces such as wind or water. ...
4.Floodplains are formed in two ways: by erosion; and by aggression.
5.A dune is a landform, and is a large mass of wind-blown sand.
6.A beach forms when waves deposit sand and gravel along the shoreline. and pebbles. Over time they are worn smooth from being rolled around by waves. The rocks usually reflect the local geology.
7.An oxbow lake is a U-Shaped lake that forms when a wide meander of a river is cut off, creating a free-standing body of water.
