Structure is the nature and arrangement of landform materials. Stage is the amount of word done on that landform. Exogenic occur near the earth surface and lower surfaces. gravity plays a major role. the energy generally being used occurs from the energy from the sun. When you think of erosional processes (wind water) the energy that causes water finish this. the energy that lifts this water comes from the sun. Endogenic happen inside the earth. energy comes from inside the earth. can represent the movement of earth materials. Volcanism, melting of rock to a liquid state. What we see when thinking about earth processes: We might see places like the grand canyon. The steepness of the actual escarpment is reflective of what it is made of. Sandstone is more difficult to erode making it vertical. The hermit formation is a lot easier to erode. A long time has passed for things to happen.
