What is the sole driving force behind all the exogenic processes?

Short Answer

Solution

The sun (solar energy) is the ultimate driving force, as it powers the atmosphere, generates temperature variations, drives the water cycle, and creates winds and precipitation that fuel exogenic geomorphic agents.

(Note: Gravity also acts as the essential directional force that pulls weathered and eroded matter down these gradients).
