Exogenic processes: These are the processes that occur outside the earth's surface.
These are wind, erosion, waves, etc.
The earth is constantly changing and this change happens due to some processes called geomorphic processes.
This geomorphic process is again of two main types
1. Exogenic processes - wind, erosion, waves.
2. Endogenic processes - volcanos, earthquake

This video is about the exogenic processes. These processes occur in a total of four phases or stages
1. Wheathering:
This is the breaking of rock or huge glaciers by chemical or physical processes.
2. Erosion:
Erosion is the process that removes rock, soil, and other dissolved material from one place on the earth’s surface and then transports it to the other place. Running surface water, wind, glaciers, waves, karst, etc. are the agents of erosion.
3. Transportation:
Transportation is the acquisition of rock debris by geomorphic agents like winds, waves, etc.
4. Deposition: 
The process in which some substances such as sediment, rocks, or soils are added to the earth's surface.
Facts about the exogenic process
1. It is a slow process.
2. The energy required for these processes comes mainly from the atmosphere and the sun. 
3. This process also gets energy from the slope of the land created by the geological process (slope of gradient).
4. Sediments and sedimentary rocks are formed in this process.
6. This process refers to all the processes that are produced at the surface of the earth.
7. Weathering, erosion, transportation, etc. are the primary exogenic processes.
8. This process is also known as a destructive process.
