Surface Geologic Processes also reffered to as, Exogeneous Geologic Processes, are the processes that operates on the Earth's surface and helps to reconstruct the Earth externally. They include, Erosion, Weathering, Mass Wasting, Orogeny. Their agents are called the Epigeal Geological Agents, and include, Wind, Water, Glacier, Waves etc.
Seafloor spreading is the geologic process that forms new crust on the ocean floor. This occurs at mid-ocean ridges, where tectonic plates move apart and magma rises to the surface, solidifying to form new oceanic crust.
Mechanical weathering.
No thats why im asking you guys
Hutton's observations led him to develop the idea of uniformitarianism, which states that the same geologic processes at work today have been shaping the Earth's surface over immense spans of time. This concept laid the foundation for the modern understanding of geological processes and helped shape the science of geology.
A topographic profile is a plot showing the shape of the surface of the ground (so hills, hillocks, dips, valleys and the like). Whereas a geologic cross section shows the order and structure of soils and / or rocks below the ground surface. Geologic sections are typically created by first drawing a topographic profile of the section of interest then adding in the underlying strata. An example of the way they are created is given in the related links.
Geologic features are any physical features on the surface of a planet or moon, or of the rocks exposed at the surface, by any geologic process.

uniformitarianism
The geologic principle that the same geologic processes that operate today operated in the past to change Earth's surface.
Geologic maps show the distribution of different rock types, formations, and geologic features on the Earth's surface. They provide information about the age, composition, and structure of the rocks in a specific area, helping geologists understand the geologic history and processes that have shaped the landscape. Geologic maps are essential tools for land use planning, resource exploration, and understanding natural hazards.
Weathering is a key process in the geologic cycle as it breaks down rocks into smaller particles through mechanical or chemical processes. These weathered materials are then transported and deposited through erosion and sedimentation, which are also part of the geologic cycle. Weathering ultimately contributes to the transformation of rock materials over time, playing a vital role in shaping our planet's surface.
It is called an unconformity.
Mechanical weathering.
The remains are called fossils.
