Geologic Process

Geological processes are constantly changing the Earth's surface through both destructive and constructive mechanisms. Erosion transports materials from their source through weathering by wind, water, and ice. Weathering breaks down rock, soil, and minerals using physical processes like freezing and chemical processes like dissolution and oxidation.

Geological Processes

-There are many different types of geological processes


some slow, and some fast. They are constantly at work
changing the face of our earth, both destroying land, and
creating new land.
- Geological processes are dynamic processes at work in the
earth's landforms and surfaces. The mechanisms involved,
weathering, erosion, and plate tectonics, combine processes
that are in some respects destructive and in others
constructive.
Erosion
-Erosion is a process of materials moving from their source to
another location through weathering. There are several types
of erosion, but the most common are erosion by wind, water,
and ice.
-The process of moving materials from their source to another location through
weathering.
Weathering
-Weathering is the breaking down of rock, soil, and
minerals. The main types are physical (including freezing,
abrasion, thermal stress) and chemical (including
dissolution, oxidation, and carbonation).
