Answer to Question 1

The dynamic equilibrium model is based on the idea of landscape formation being balance between endogenic and exogenic forces. During a destabilizing event, a landform system may arrive at a geomorphic threshold, where the system lurches to a new system state. The steps of the dynamic equilibrium model are 1. equilibrium and stability with slow continuous change; 2. some form of dramatic event; and 3. a period of recovery to a new equilibrium.

Answer to Question 2

TRUE
