- Distinguish between internal and external processes that shape the Earth’s surface.
Internal processes are those that generally build up landforms and increase elevation. Mountains and volcanoes, for example, are the result of internal processes. External processes are those that generally break landforms down and reduce their elevation.
- List the two major external processes that shape landforms.
Weathering and erosion are the two major external processes that shape landforms.
- What are the four major agents of erosion?
The four major agents of erosion are gravity, moving ice, running water, and wind.
