The lithosphere is broken into a number of plates known as the lithospheric plates. These plates move around very slowly because of the movement of the molten magma inside the earth which moves in a circular manner.
The earth movements are divided on the basis of the _______ which cause them to move
It means that the earth movements are divided on the basis of forces and the forces are Exogenic and Endogenic forces.
Two types of forces are
The forces coming from within the earth and causing horizontal and vertical movements are called as endogenic forces A.K.A. Comet and meteoroid impacts, the tidal force of the moon and the radiation from the sun are all exogenic. Weathering effects and erosion are also exogenic processes.
The forces which act in the interior of the earth are called as
Endogenic forces are those forces which act in the interior of the earth. Exogenic forces that work on the surface of the earth. These movements like volcano and earth quakes cause mass destruction over the surface of the earth. A volcano is a vent (opening) in the earth’s crust through which molten material erupts suddenly.
Which of the following is NOT exogenic force
hence,volcano is not a Exogenic force.
___ movements like earthquakes and volcanoes cause mass destruction over the surface of the earth.
The lithosphere is broken into a number of plates known as the lithospheric plates. These plates move around very slowly because of the movement of the molten magma inside the earth which moves in a circular manner. Endogenic forces cause the sudden movements like earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides which cause mass destruction over the earth's surface.
It is a vent (opening) in the earth's crust through which molten material erupts suddenly
A volcano is an opening in the Earth's crust that allows molten rock, gases, and debris to escape to the surface.
The place in the crust where the movement starts is called the
The place in the crust where the movement starts is called the focus. The place on the surface above the focus is called the epicenter. Vibrations travel outwards from the epicenter as waves. The greatest damage is usually closest to the epicenter and the strength of the earthquake decreases away from the center.
When the Lithospheric plates move, the surface of the earth vibrates. The vibrations can travel all round the earth. These vibrations are called
When the Lithospheric plates move, the surface of the earth vibrates. The vibrations can travel all round the earth. These vibrations are called earthquakes.
