Exogenetic forces are constantly working to bring about levelling or the gradation of land. They attempt to achieve a condition of balance between erosion and deposition which mean a graded position. The above forces operate through the process called 'Gradation'. Agents of gradation like rivers, glaciers winds, sea, waves and underground water perform their task with the help of the triple action of weathering, erosion and deposition. The filling up of elevated portions of the earth's surfaces is done by erosion. The filling up of depressions is done by deposition of the eroded material transported by the external agents of gradation as spoken earlier.

A surface can be said to be a featureless plain if it is neither being filled nor levelled by exogenetic forces. However, such areas are never permanent as both endogenetic and exogenetic forces continue undoing the work of each other.
