Geological processes are the natural mechanisms that shape the Earth's structure and surface over time. These processes include erosion, volcanism, and sedimentation, which work together to create mountains, valleys, and other landforms. Understanding these processes helps scientists predict natural events and manage resources effectively. One of the key drivers of geological processes is plate tectonics, the movement of large sections of the Earth's crust. This movement can lead to earthquakes, the formation of new land, and the recycling of materials through subduction. By studying these processes, we gain insights into the Earth's history and its dynamic nature.
