Which among the following are exogenic geomorphic processes?
(A) Weathering
(B) Diastrophism
(C) Erosion and deposition
(D) Mass movement
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → (A), (C) and (D) only
Exogenic geomorphic processes are those that operate on the Earth's surface and are mainly driven by external forces like wind, water, ice, and gravity.
- Weathering → breakdown of rocks at the surface → exogenic
- Diastrophism → movements of the Earth's crust (folding, faulting) → endogenic
- Erosion and deposition → removal and laying down of materials → exogenic
- Mass movement → downhill movement of soil/rocks under gravity → exogenic
Correct combination: (A), (C) and (D) only
