Which of the following is correctly matched?
A)Endogenic - external processes
B)Exogenic - internal processes
C)Radioactive decay heat - exogenic energy source
D)Weathering - exogenic breaking and dissolving the crust

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Weathering refers to the process of breaking down and dissolving the Earth's crust by external agents such as wind, rainfall, and temperature changes. Therefore, it is correctly matched with exogenic processes. Option A is incorrect because endogenic processes usually occur within the Earth, such as volcanic activity and plate tectonics. Option B is incorrect because exogenic processes are those that occur on the Earth's surface, such as erosion, transportation, and deposition. Option C is incorrect because radioactive decay heat is an endogenic energy source that generates heat from within the Earth's core.
