1.	Explain the meaning of denudation in brief.
Answer» The process by which the cover of rocks of the crust is eroded, is called denudation. This process enables the leveling of different land forms created by endogenetic forces. In this, after the fragmentation of uplifted landmass, its transportation, erosion, attrition and mass translocation take place. Eventually, by these processes, the uplifted terrain transforms into the lower terrain.
