A) erosion
It is a process of eroding
Of the earths surface by
Moving agents such as
Water,wind and waves.
B)weathering
It is A process of rock
Fragmentation and decomposition
Or decay due to changes in
Temperature,rainwater,frosting
And microorganisms.
D)transport and sedimentation
Weathered or corroded materials are
Moved by agents such as running water,
Wind,waves and glaciers. The materials
Will be sedimented when the velocity of
The agent decreases.
Endogenic Process
Process that is caused by forces from within
the earth.
Forms and changes the earths surface.
Examples:mantle convection process,magma
activity and earths crust movements (plate
tectonics).
Mantle Convection Process
The high temperature in the mantle and the
core of the earth producess convection
currents in the asthenosphere layer.These
currents are able to move earths crust.
Earths Crust Movement
According to the theory of plate tectonics,the
earths crust is divided into several pieces of
plates. These plates constantly move resulting
in collision and divergence which produce
various landforms on earth and condinental
drifts.
Magma Activity
Volcano is A vent on the earths crust that
allows molten and hot magma to flow out
through it in A strong eruption. The erupted
materials accumulate around the slope of the
vent and form volcanic cones.

Age Of Earth
The age of earth is estimated to 4.5 bilion years based on meteorities
obtained.Earth has gone through various stages of periods,which have
changed or shaped the earths landscape.Geologists define A long period
of time as an era.Each era is divided into several periods.
Fossil
Fossils are earths material such as
plants,animals and insects which have been
submerged and buried for A very long period
of time.
