The Basics
Water, Wind, Temperature Changes, Atmospheric Gases and Living Beings are all and example of these
What are Exogenous Geological Agents?
This agent causes changes in the Earth's material by water vapor, hydration and dehydration causing rocks to crack and break up
What is Water?
Movement of Material from one place to Another
What is Transportation?
Grooves, Gullies, Fairy Chimneys
What are Wild Waters?
Short Watercourses with a Variable Discharge found where there are Steep Slopes
What is a Torrent?
Weathering, Erosion, Transportation and Sedimentation are all examples of this
What are Geological Processes?
Abrasion is caused by this Agent
What is Wind?
Wearing away of Rocks by the removal of material caused by exogenous geological agents
What is Erosion?
Gorges, Canyons, Waterfalls, Deltas
What are Rivers?
The Course of the River where Erosion and Transportation Dominate and the Slope is the Steepest
What is the Upper Course?
These are created when Exogenous Geological Agents Change the Materials on the Earth's Surface
What are Landforms?
This agent breaks up rocks by causing them to dilate and contract
What are Changes in Temperature?
Long Permanent Watercourses with a Stable Discharge, which flow from high areas to low ones
What is a River?
Tarns, Sheepbacks, Tills
What are Glaciers?
Transported by Glaciers, deposits of accumulated sediment that remain after the Ice Melts
What is a Moraine?
Vegetation, the presence of the Sea, Activity of Humans, and Characteristics and Arrangement of Rocks are all examples of __________ that affect landform modeling
What are Factors?
These agents react with minerals in rocks and alter their Composition
What are Atmospheric Gases
Large Ice Masses that Move Slowly Downhill
What are Glaciers?
Fluvial Terraces, V Shaped Valleys
What are Rivers?
These are found at the Poles when Glacier Ice Sheets Break
What are Icebergs?
Determines which Exogenous Agent Dominates
What is the Climate?
These Agents can break up the rocks mechanically and alter them Chemically
What are Living Beings?
Underground Accumulations of Groundwater
What are Acquifers?
Stalactite, Stalagmite, Doline, Sinkhole
What is Karst Modelling?
The Result of the Chemical and Mechanical Action of Groundwater on Limestone
What is Karst Modelling?
