Exogenic forces on the earth surfase
  • 1 answers

Yogita Ingle 4 years, 5 months ago

The term ‘exo’ means outside and ‘genic’ means origin. Therefore, exogenic forces are the forces that work on the exterior (surface) of the earth. These forces are erosional and depositional in nature.

  • The forces that cause erosion are called erosional forces. Erosion is defined as the removal of soil, sediments and rock fragments from the landscape. Wind, water and ice cause erosion.
  • Depositional forces cause deposition. The process of erosion stops when the transported materials fall out of the transporting medium (wind, water etc.) and settle on a surface. This process is called deposition.
