Endogenic Processes The most familiar endogenic processes involve vulcanism, metamorphism, earthquakes, crustal warping, folding and faulting.

Koeppen recognized five major climatic groups, four of which are based on temperature and one on precipitation. Koeppen’s classification of climate developed by V.Koeppen. This classification identified a close relationship between the climate and the distribution of vegetation. V.Koeppen selected some values of temperature, precipitation and related them to the distribution of vegetation, and used … Read more

Average annual solar radiation arriving at the top of the Earth’s atmosphere is roughly 1361 W/m2. The Sun’s rays are attenuated as they pass through the atmosphere, leaving maximum normal surface irradiance at approximately 1000 W/m2 at sea level on a clear day.

bringing about changes in the configuration of the surface of the earth are known as geomorphic processes. Diastrophism and volcanism are endogenic geomorphic processes. Weathering, mass wasting, erosion and deposition are exogenic geomorphic processes. The physical and chemical interactions between the Earth’s surface and the natural forces acting upon it to produce landforms.

Fractionated plateau The fractioned plateau is the longest mountain chain on the earth’s surface submerged under the sea. This plateau is formed when there is spreading of the seafloor is really slow. As the rate of seafloor spreading is very slow, this allows the accumulation of large amounts of lava. The lava forms the fractioned … Read more
