This document discusses various geologic processes. It describes four main exogenic processes: weathering, erosion, mass wasting, and sedimentation. Weathering is the breakdown of rocks through contact with earth's systems and occurs through physical or chemical means. Erosion is the transport of weathered debris by forces like water, wind or ice. Mass wasting is the downward movement of material on slopes due to gravity, like debris flows or mudflows. Sedimentation is the accumulation of eroded materials at the bottom of streams, seas or oceans over time.
ALL ABOUT WEATHERING AND EROSION .. Weathering causes the disintegration of rock near the surface of the earth. Plant and animal life, atmosphere and water are the major causes of weathering. Weathering breaks down and loosens the surface minerals of rock so they can be transported away by agents of erosion such as water, wind and ice. There are two types of weathering: mechanical and chemical.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

3. Types of Exogenic Processes
01 03 04
02
Weathering
Erosion
Mass
Wasting
Sedimentation
4. Weathering
03 04
02
01
It is the disintegration of rocks, soils and minerals
together with other materials through contact with
earth’s subsystems. Weathering happens even without
movement or transportation (as opposed to erosion
that involves movement) the breaking down of soils
and rocks happens on the spot.
Two types of weathering: PHYSICAL WEATHERING
and CHEMICAL WEATHERING.
5. Physical Weathering
03 04
02
01
Physical weathering is the breakdown of rocks by
mechanical forces concentrated along rock fractures.
This can occur due to changes, whether sudden or
not, in temperature, pressure, frost, etc. For example,
soils crack because of extreme heat or drought.in
some cases, water, wind, or ice may abrade or escape
rocks or soils through its tremendous cutting power.
6. Chemical Weathering
03 04
02
01
Chemical weathering is the process by which rocks
break down by chemical reactions. While physical
changes happen on rocks during physical weathering,
new or secondary mineral develop and sometimes
replace the original properties of the minerals in the
original rock or soil during chemical weathering.
7. Chemical Weathering
03 04
02
01
Oxidation and hydrolysis are chemical processes that
contribute to these changes. For instance, the
presence of water and oxygen in the biological
decomposition of microbial action in rocks may cause
them to disintegrate. Another example is acid rain
which may cause which may cause earth materials to
weaken and change their chemical properties because
of the reaction to carbonic acids by some of the
materials in soils and rocks. Sinkholes, caverns, and
karsts are also caused by chemical weathering.
8. Chemical Weathering
03 04
02
01
Carbonation from limestone-based ground may cause
it to thin out and loosen up, making the ground fragile
and eventually collapse. New types of rocks are created
because of weathering contribute to the formation of
new rocks. For example, granite, which is an intrusive
igneous rock, may undergo physical weathering from
fracturing due to temperature and pressure changes in
the surrounding. When acid rain falls on it, chemical
weathering occurs when granite reacts with carbonic
acid (from acid rain) to form a new rock called kaolinite,
a clay mineral.
9. Erosion
03 04
02
01
It is the process by which earth’s surface is worn
away by wind, water or ice. The process of erosion
moves rock debris or soil from one place to
another. Erosion takes place when there is rainfall,
surface runoff, flowing river, seawater intrusion,
flooding, freezing and thawing, hurricane, wind,
etc. these are forces of nature ,whether violent or
passive ,capable of exfoliating and scraping the
surface and exposing the layers underneath it.
10. Erosion
03 04
02
01
Movement of land animals during migration of
stampede can also cause erosion.in addition,
numerous human activities also cause soil erosion
such as deforestation (cutting of trees for fuel and
wood for structures and other objects),
overgrazing of farm animals, and urbanization.
Sometimes, erosion can cause massive
deterioration and destruction of surface structure
and foundation, which may become critical in the
safety of buildings and communities.
11. Mass Wasting
03 04
02
01
Is the movement of material on a downslope terrain due to gravity.
Mass wasting usually happens in slopes is dangerous, and may occur
in areas that can trigger mass movement. The critical areas may have
increased water flow (such as rainfall or flash floods) ,steep slopes
scarce or no vegetation ,or vibrating or moving ground (from
earthquakes or industrial activities for example).it is dangerous
because of the increasing weight of the material that are picked up as
the downward movement processes that can cause mud and debris
avalanches .There are different forms of mass wasting ,and these are
classified according to speed of movement ,type of materials that
move, and manner by which the materials move :debris flow, mud
flow, and slump . Mass wasting can cause loss of life and injury,
property damage, loss of capital assets, or interruption to economic
activities.

12. Mass Wasting
03 04
02
01
TYPES OF MASS WASTING
a) Debris flow when large amount of sediments, usually rocks of
various size, fall downslope, unlike landslide, debris flow does not
need water to flow down.
b) Mud flow happens when the combined soil and water flow
downslope. This usually happen near rivers or streams where soils
and sands are always moist or have been soaked in water for a
long time. Its weight indicated the severity of the risk when mud
flows down on a community.
c) Slumps are also example of mass wasting. This is a slow
downslope movement of loosely consolidated materials or rock
and soils layers. In time, the area would look curved because of
the depression form by the downslope movement of the land.
02 03
13. SEDIMENTATION
03 04
02
01
Sedimentation is accumulation of the materials such
as soil, rock fragments and soil particles at the
bottom. This usually occurs in stream and sea erosion.
Over time, the sediment load becomes thick and forms
a new layer of ground. In some small inland waters,
this sediment layer will eventually dry up the water
and become part of the soil in its environment. In
Oceans, the sediment layer can form the Ocean basin.
Ocean basins also change their shapes and sizes due
to continuous geologic cycle.
