What are the 10 physical features?

The features discussed are: Plateaus, deserts, deltas, mesas, basins, foothills, marshes, and swamps.

What are physical features on Earth?

Highlights major types of landforms, including continents, islands, peninsulas, plains, and plateaus. Also reviews earth’s water features, such as oceans, seas, gulfs, bays, lagoons, and others.

What is the temperature of Earth?

58.62 F

How and why is the Earth constantly changing?

Our restless Earth is always changing. Tectonic plates drift, the crust quakes, and volcanoes erupt. Air pressure falls, storms form, and precipitation results. Learn how these powerful forces shape our air, land, water, and weather”and constantly transform our planet.

How do physical processes affect the atmosphere?

The physical processes on Earth create constant change. These processes”including movement in the tectonic plates in the crust, wind and water erosion, and deposition”shape features on Earth’s surface.

What does it mean for the earth to be dynamic?

Scientists increasingly view Earth as a dynamic system that is a combination of interrelated, interdependent, or interacting parts forming a collective whole or entity. On a macro level, the Earth systems maintain their existence and functions as a whole through the interactions of their parts, called components.

Where does all of earth energy come from?

Nearly all of the earth’s energy comes from the sun. Some of this radiant energy is reflected by water droplets and dust particles in the atmosphere and bounced back into space or scattered throughout the atmosphere; some is absorbed by clouds or ozone.

How do Exogenic processes shape the earth?

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 causes erosion?

Erosion is the process by which the surface of the Earth gets worn down. Erosion can be caused by natural elements such as wind and glacial ice. The key to erosion is something called “fluid flow.” Water, air, and even ice are fluids because they tend to flow from one place to another due to the force of gravity.

What is the surface of the Earth called?

crust

What are the 3 types of exogenic processes?

Weathering, mass wasting, erosion and deposition are exogenic geomorphic processes. These exogenic processes are dealt with in detail in this chapter. Any exogenic element of nature (like water, ice, wind, etc.,) capable of acquiring and transporting earth materials can be called a geomorphic agent.
