Question:

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:

Options:

(A), (B) and (D) only

(B), (C) and (D) only

(A), (B) and (C) only

(A), (C) and (D) only

Correct Answer:

(A), (C) and (D) only

Explanation:

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
