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.
Physical weathering, also known as mechanical weathering, is the class of processes that causes the disintegration of rocks without chemical change. The primary process in physical weathering is abrasion (the process by which clasts and other particles are reduced in size).eathering occurs in situ, roughly translated to: with no movement , and thus should not be confused with erosion, which involves the movement of rocks and minerals by agents such as water, ice, snow, wind, waves and gravity and then being transported and deposited in other locations.
