The term geological processes describes the natural forces that shape the physical makeup of a planet. Plate tectonics, erosion, chemical weathering and sedimentation are all examples of forces that significantly affect the Earthâs surface and account for its major features.hen rock is worn away by water, ice or even wind, this is known as erosion. It is one of the most important geological processes, and, over time, can transform landscapes. Particles of grit and sand carried by water or wind have an abrasive effect and can sculpt rock into new shapes on a large scale.
The primary process in physical weathering is abrasion (the process by which clasts and other particles are reduced in size). However, chemical and physical weathering often go hand in hand. Physical weathering can occur due to temperature, pressure, frost etc.For example, cracks exploited by physical weathering will increase the surface area exposed to chemical action, thus amplifying the rate of disintegration.ne of the most well-known solution weathering processes is carbonation, the process in which atmospheric carbon dioxide leads to solution weathering. Carbonation occurs on rocks which contain calcium carbonate, such as limestone and chalk.
