Class 11 Geography - Chapter 5: Geomorphic Processes
Explore how geomorphic processes like weathering, erosion, and deposition shape the Earth in Class 11 Geography Chapter 5. Learn with visuals and flashcards.
Overview
This chapter introduces geomorphic processes that continuously shape the Earth’s surface, such as weathering, mass movement, erosion, and deposition.
Why This Chapter Matters
Understanding geomorphic processes is essential for grasping how landscapes are formed, altered, and influenced by both internal and external Earth forces.
Real-Life Applications
- Distinguishing between endogenic and exogenic forces.
- Understanding how processes like weathering, mass wasting, erosion, and deposition shape the land.
- Analyzing landform development through geomorphic agents such as rivers, wind, glaciers, and sea waves.
Skills You Will Learn
- Classifying geomorphic processes based on origin and impact.
- Identifying real-life examples of landforms created by geomorphic activity.
- Explaining the role of natural forces in shaping the Earth’s surface.

Q: What are geomorphic processes?
A: Natural processes that shape the Earth’s surface, such as weathering, erosion, and deposition.
A: Natural processes that shape the Earth’s surface, such as weathering, erosion, and deposition.
Q: What is the difference between endogenic and exogenic forces?
A: Endogenic forces originate within the Earth (e.g., volcanoes), while exogenic forces operate on the surface (e.g., rivers, wind).
