Exogenic Process

This document summarizes the process of weathering, which breaks down rocks into sediments. It describes three main types of weathering - mechanical, chemical, and biological. Mechanical weathering breaks rocks into smaller pieces without changing their chemical composition, while chemical weathering alters the rocks' physical and chemical makeup. The weathered rocks are then transported by various erosion processes like water, wind, or glacial movement, and deposited in different environments.
