explain the different agents of denudation?
Answers
Water is one of the four active agents of denudation (the others being wind, waves and glacial ice) that erode, transport and deposit sediments at the earth's surface to produce erosional and depositional landform.
Denudation is the process by which the removal of material, through means of erosion and weathering, leads to a reduction of elevation and relief in landforms and landscapes. Exogenic processes, including the action of water, ice, and wind, predominantly involve denudation. Denudation can involve the removal of both solid particles and dissolved material. Both mechanical and Chemical weathering occurs in relation to geomorphological landforms.
Factors affecting Denudation include:
Surface Geography
Properties of Earth Material
Climate
Tectonic Setting
Activities of Man, Animals & Plants
