Question

difference between tectonic and gradational forces

Answer 1

Tectonic forces are those originating beneath the surface that alter the surface of the earth as a result of tectonic plate movement .  Gradational forces means weathering and erosion by wind, water and ice. These forces change or modify those land forms made by tectonic forces.

Answer 2

• Tectonic forces are subsurface forces that cause tectonic plate movement to change the earth's surface.
• Weathering and erosion by wind, water, and ice are called gradational forces.
• These forces alter or modify tectonic landforms.

• Exogenetic factors on the earth's surface, such as weathering and erosion, are responsible for gradational denudation.

• Warping, folding, faulting, and volcanic activity are all geological processes that bend, deform, and split the Earth's crust.
