Question

Define load in geography from chapter weathering and soil formation.​

Answer 1

The earth’s crust is dynamic. You are well

aware that it has moved and moves vertically

and horizontally. Of course, it moved a bit faster

in the past than the rate at which it is moving

now. The differences in the internal forces

operating from within the earth which built up

the crust have been responsible for the

variations in the outer surface of the crust. The

earth’s surface is being continuously subjected

to external forces induced basically by energy

(sunlight). Of course, the internal forces are still

active though with different intensities. That

means, the earth’s surface is being

continuously subjected to by external forces

originating within the earth’s atmosphere and

by internal forces from within the earth. The

external forces are known as exogenic forces

and the internal forces are known as endogenic

forces. The actions of exogenic forces result in

wearing down (degradation) of relief/elevations

and filling up (aggradation) of basins/

depressions, on the earth’s surface. The

phenomenon of wearing down of relief

variations of the surface of the earth through

erosion is known as gradation.
