Document Summary
It has a specific texture to it (it looks like cheese) An important question to ask yourselves when we are looking at these images is what is the scale: are there indicators, the mountains in the background, the steps. We are going to go over the processes that created this: this was created by chemical weathering. These are processes that are happening on the rock materials: everything related to climate, everything driven by the sun, endogenic processes are flat and exogenic processes build up. What is the normal sequence of processes in landscape developer: weathering -> erosion -> transport -> deposition. We have these four different processes: the in place breakdown of rock materials. Weathering: the in situ weakening of intact rock materials, the in place breakdown of rock materials and this can occur in many different ways. Erosion: the removal or entrainment of earth materials by an external force, for example running water.
