---------Notes----------

     The formation and deformation of landforms on the surface of the earth are a continuous process which is due to the continuous influence of external and internal forces. The internal and external forces causing stresses and chemical action on earth materials and bringing about changes in the configuration of the surface are known as geomorphic processes. Exogenic forces are those forces which derive their strength from the earth’s interior and play a crucial role in shaping the earth crust. An agent is a mobile medium (like running water, moving ice masses, the wind, waves, and currents etc.) which removes, transports and deposits earth materials. Earth Movements are the movements in the earth’s crust caused by the endogenic or exogenic forces. These movements are also termed as Tectonic movements. The term 'Tectonic' derived from the Greek word ‘Tekton’ which means builders.
