Answers
The exogenetic processes are the processes that shape the land by forces coming on or above the Earth's surface (exogenetic forces). Exogenetic Processes These are processes that take place on the earth's surface. They are subdivided in two categories: Processes of degradation Processes of aggradation Processes of degradation are those that destroy what has been built up by endogenetic/aggradation processes. These are Weathering Mass movement Erosion Transportation Processes of aggradation are those that build up material. Deposition of weathered and eroded sediments The destruction of the landscape is known as denudation. Denudation is the long-term sum of processes that cause the wearing away of the earth’s surface leading to a reduction in elevation and relief of landforms and landscapes (weathering, erosion, and mass wasting).
