Unraveling Geomorphic Processes: Forces Shaping Earth's Surface

The video explains geomorphic processes by breaking down the term into 'geo' (earth) and 'morphic' (shape). It discusses the unevenness of the earth's surface caused by endogenic (internal) and exogenic (external) forces. Endogenic forces include magma movement and tectonic activities, while exogenic forces involve weathering and erosion by sunlight, rain, wind, and ice. These processes shape the earth's surface, creating uplands and lowlands.
