Our Environment
Exogenic Forces
The forces that work on the surface of the earth, such as wind, water, ice, and impacts of celestial objects (comets, etc.), are called exogenic forces.
They drive the processes of weathering, erosion, and deposition of rocks and sediments, creation of mountains and valleys, etc.
Weathering is the natural wearing down of mountains, etc. by wind, water, and other elements in the environment.
Erosion is the process of transporting weathered materials (soil, sand, etc.) with the help of various agents like winds, glaciers, water, etc., and their deposition.
Work of Rivers
As a river flows, it erodes the land it flows on, carrying away a lot of material. On the way to the sea, it forms waterfalls, meanders, ox-bow lakes, floodplains, levees, and deltas.
Work of Sea Waves
They give rise to coastal landforms and islands, and they also form sea caves, sea arches, sea cliff, and stacks.
Work of Ice
Ice can erode rocks and land. In frigid areas and on some mountain-tops, glaciers (rivers of ice) move slowly downhill across the land and pick up everything in their path, from tiny grains of sand to huge boulders.
Work of Winds
Winds carry dust, sand, volcanic ash, etc. from one place to another.
It can sometimes blow sand to form towering dunes.
Extra-Terrestrial Forces
Impacts with comets and meteoroids, gravity of the Moon and the Sun, and radiation from the Sun also change the surface of earth.
