Chapter 25, Problem 1RCQ

To determine

The difference between surface processes and tectonic processes.

Answer to Problem 1RCQ

Solution:

Surface processes and tectonic processes are different because surface processes occur on the surface of the Earth, and tectonic processes occur in the interior crust of Earth.

Explanation of Solution

The differences between fungi and animals are as follows:

No.	Characteristics	Surface processes	Tectonic processes
1.	Origin	These processes originate on the surface of the Earth.	These processes originate in the interior of the Earth.
2.	Occurrence	These processes occur because of weathering and erosion.	These processes result from the interaction of plates within the Earth’s crust.
3.	Examples	Erosion and deposition of the sediments are some examples or surface processes.	Volcanism and earthquake are some of the tectonic processes.
