Question:
What is the difference between geomorphic agents and geomorphic processes?
Answer:
Geomorphic process:
- Endogenic and exogenic forces that cause physical stress and chemical actions action the earth's materials and changes in the configuration of the earth's surface is called the geomorphic process.
- For example,
- Diastrophism and volcanism are endogenic geomorphic processes and weathering, erosion, and deposition are exogenic geomorphic processes.
Geomorphic agents:
- Exogenic elements that are capable of acquiring and transporting earth materials can be called geomorphic agents.
- For example,
- water, ice, winds, wave, etc are geomorphic agents.
Difference between the Geomorphic process and Geomorphic agents:
- Geomorphic processes are types of forces while geomorphic agents are the mobile medium like running water, waves, moving ice, currents, etc.
