EXOGENIC PROCESS

EXOGENIC PROCESS
-IT IS OCCUR ON OR
NEAR THE SURFACE OF
EARTH.THEY ARE USUALLY
INFLUENCED OR DRIVEN BY
GRAVITY,WATER,WIND, AND
 DIFFERENT TYPES OF EXOGENIC PROCESSES

1. WEATHERING
-IT IS THE DISINTEGRATION OF ROCKS,SOIL,AND MINERALS
TOGETHER WITH OTHER MATERIALS THROUGH CONTACT WITH.
EARTH SUBSYSTEMS.
 TWO IMPORTANT PARTS OF WEATHERING

A. PHYSICAL WEATHERING
- IS THE BREAKDOWN OF ROCKS BY MECHANICAL
FORCES CONCENTRATED ALONG RICK FRACTURES. THESE CAN
OCCUR DUE TO CHANGES, WHETHER SUDDEN OR NOT, IN
TEMPERATURE, PRESSURE, ETC.
B. CHEMICAL WEATHERING
-ISTHE PROCESS BY WHICH ROCKS BREAKDOWN
BY CHEMICAL REACTIONS. IN THESE PROCESS, NEW OR
SECONDARY MINERALS DEVELOP AND SOMETIMES
REPLACE THE ORIGINAL PROPERTIES OF THE MINERALS IN
THE ORIGINAL ROCK OR SOIL.
EXAMPLE:
2. EROSION
- IT IS THE PROCESS BY WHICH EARTH’S SURFACE IS WORTH
AWAY BY WIND, WATER OR ICE. THE PROCESS OF EROSION MOVES
ROCK OF DEBRIS OR SOIL FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER. EROSION
TAKES PLACE, WHEN THERE IS RAINFALL SURFACE RUNOFF, FLOWING
RIVERS, SEA WATER INTRUSION, FLOODING, FREEZING AND
THAWING, HURRICANES, WIND , ETC.
 TRIGGERS OF EROSION
• RAINFALL
• SURFACE RUNOFF
• FLOWING RIVERS
• SEA WATER INTRUSION
• FLOODING
• FREEZING AND THAWING
• HURRICANE AND WIND
• HUMAN ACTIVITIES
3. MASS WASTING
- THISREFERS TO THE MOVEMENT OF LARGE MASSES OF
MATERIALS (E.G. RICK DEBRIS, SOIL MUD) DOWN A SLOPE OR A
STEEP- SIDED HILL OR MOUNTAINS DUE TO THE PULL OF GRAVITY.
 DIFFERENT FORMS OF MASS WASTING
A. DEBRIS FLOW – HAPPENS WHEN A LARGE AMOUNT OF SEDIMENTS, USUALLY ROCKS OF
VARIOUS SIZES, FALLS DOWN TO SLOPE. UNLIKE A LANDSLIDE DEBRIS FLOW DOES NOT
NEED WATER TO FLOW DOWN.
• MUD FLOW – WHEN COMBINED SOIL AND WATER FLOW DOWNS SLOPE. THIS USUALLY
HAPPENS NEAR RIVERS OR STREAM WHERE SOIL AND SAND US ALWAYS MOIST IT HAS BEEN
SOAK IN WATER FOR ALONG TIME.
• SLUMPS - IS A SLOW MOVEMENT OF SOIL ALONG A CURVED SURFACE. IN TIME, THE AREAS
WOULD LOOK CURVED BECAUSE OF THE DEPRESSION FORMED BY THE SINKING LAND.
 TRIGGERS

• VOLCANIC ERUPTION
• EARTHQUAKES
• HEAVY RAINFALL
• HUMAN INTERVENTION
 TYPES OF MASS WASTING
• FALLS – OCCUR WHEN MATERIAL LOCATED IN A STEEP SLOPE
MOVE DOWNWARD WITHOUT CONTACT WITH THE GROUND
UNTIL THEY REACH THE FOOT OF THE SLOPE.
• SLIDES - MOVE MATERIAL AS ONE NEARLY FOLLOWING A
STRAIGHT LINE DOWN THE SLOPE.
• SLUMPS – MOVE MATERIAL AS ONE NEARLY FOLLOWING A
CURVED SURFACE.
• AVALANCHES – MOST RAPID TYPE WHERE IN LOOSE MATERIALS
MOVE INCOHERENTLY OR IN A CHAOTIC FASHION.
• FLOWS - MOVEMENT OF MATERIALS WHEN THEY BECOME
SATURATED WITH WATER THUS MOVING LIKE A LIQUID.
 EFFECTS

• LOSS OF LIFE / INJURING

• PROPERTY DAMAGE
• LOSS OF CAPITAL ASSETS
• INTERRUPTION OF ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES
4. SEDIMENTATION
- ACCUMULATION OF MATERIALS SUCH AS SOIL, ROCK
FRAGMENTS, AND SOIL PARTICLES, SETTING AT THE BOTTOM.
