| environ. | geological process Dynamic actions or events that occur at the Earth's surface due to application of natural forces resulting from gravity, temperature changes, freezing and thawing, chemical reactions, seismic shaking, and the agencies of wind and moving water, ice and snow. Where and when a force exceeds the strength of the earth material, the material is changed by deformation, translocation, or chemical reactions | 地质过程 (由于重力，温度变化，冻融，化学反应，地震摇晃，风和水，冰和雪的作用而使地表发生的动态变化或事件。当受力超过地球的物质的承受能力，物质会因为变形，移位，或化学反应发生变化。) |
