What is Exogenic energy?
Exogenic (or exogenetic) factors are agents supplying energy for actions that are located at or near the earth’s surface. Exogenic factors are usually driven by gravity or atmospheric forces. The term is commonly applied to various processes such as weathering, denudation, mass wasting, etc.
What is the main source of energy for the Exogenic force?
Exogenic processes are those driven by exogenic forces that primarily derive their energy from solar radiation.
Which is the main source of Exogenic process?
The earth’s principal exogenic energy source is the sun , the radiations from which lead to atmospheric heating and circulation. The geostrophic wind systems in turn are coupled to the oceanic current circulation.
What is Exogenic processes all about?
Exogenic processes include geological phenomena and processes that originate externally to the Earth’s surface. They are genetically related to the atmosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere, and therefore to processes of weathering, erosion, transportation, deposition, denudation etc.
What is the best source of energy in the exogenic processes?
The exogenic forces derive their energy from the atmosphere determined by the ultimate energy from the sun and also the gradient created by tectonic factors.
What are the exogenous processes?
Definition. In geology, exogenous refers to all the processes that are produced at the surface of the Earth (and other planets). Weathering, erosion, transportation, and sedimentation are the main exogenous processes. The result of these processes is the formation of sediments and sedimentary rocks.
What is the main source of energy of the endogenous process?
The principal energy sources for endogenic processes are heat and the redistribution of material in the earth’s interior according to density (gravitational differentiation).
How does Exogenic processes occur?
The exogenic forces derive their energy from the atmosphere determined by the ultimate energy from the sun and also the gradient created by tectonic factors. We have already discussed in previous articles that slopes on the earth surface are mainly created by tectonic factors or earth movements due to endogenic forces.
What do you think is the importance of studying Exogenic process?
Exogenic processes (e.g., mass movement, erosion, and frost weathering) play an important role in the formation of relief and create a variety of landscapes.
Which of the following are Exogenic processes?
Weathering, mass wasting, erosion, and deposition are the main exogenic processes.
What is Exogenic force?
What are Exogenic Forces? The forces which derive their strength from the earth’s exterior or originate within the earth’s atmosphere are called as exogenic forces or external forces. The action of exogenic forces results in wearing down and hence they are considered as land wearing forces.
