Take a small coloured
paper pellet and put it
in a beaker
half filled
with water.
Place the
beaker on a
tripod stand
and heat it. As the
water warms up, you
will observe that the
paper pellet is moving
upward along with the
warm layers of water
and then
sinks back
along with
the cooler
layers of water. The
molten magma inside
the earth moves in a
similar manner.
The lithosphere is broken into a number of plates known
as the Lithospheric plates. You will be surprised to know
that these plates move around very slowly – just a few
millimetres each year. This is because of the movement
of the molten magma inside the earth. The molten magma
inside the earth moves in a circular manner as shown in
the activity.
The movement of these plates causes changes on the
surface of the earth. The earth movements are divided
on the basis of the forces which cause them. The forces
which act in the interior of the earth are called as
Endogenic forces and the forces that work on the surface
of the earth are called as Exogenic forces (Fig. 3.1).

An earthquake is
measured with a
machine called a
seismograph. The
magnitude of the
earthquake is
measured on the
Richter scale. An
earthquake of 2.0 or
less can be felt only a
little. An earthquake
over 5.0 can cause
damage from things
falling. A 6.0 or
higher magnitude is
considered very
strong and 7.0 is
classified as a major
earthquake.

EARTHQUAKE PREPAREDNESS
Where to take shelter during an earthquake —
Safe Spot – Under a kitchen counter, table or desk,
against an inside corner or wall.
Stay Away from – Fire places, areas around chimneys,
windows that shatter including mirrors and picture
frames.
Be Prepared – Spread awareness amongst your friends
and family members and face any disaster confidently.

Do you know?
MAJOR LAND FORMS
The landscape is being continuously worn away by two
processes – weathering and erosion. Weathering is the
breaking up of the rocks on the earth’s surface. Erosion
is the wearing away of the landscape by different agents
like water, wind and ice. The eroded material is carried
away or transported by water, wind, etc. and eventually
deposited. This process of erosion and deposition create
different landforms on the surface of the earth.
Work of a River
The running water in the river erodes the landscape. When
the river tumbles at steep angle over very hard rocks or
down a steep valley side it forms a waterfall (Fig. 3.4).
•  There are
thousands of small
waterfalls in the
world. The highest
waterfall is Angel
Falls of Venezuela
in South America.
The other waterfalls
are Niagara falls
located on the
border between
Canada and USA in
North America and
Victoria Falls on
the borders of
Zambia and
Zimbabwe in Africa.
The Niagra falls

Softer rock undercut

Fig. 3.4: Waterfall
As the river enters the plain it twists and turns forming
large bends known as meanders. Due to continuous
erosion and deposition along the sides of the meander,
the ends of the meander loop come closer
and closer. In due course of time the
meander loop cuts off from the river and
forms a cut-off lake, also called an ox-bow
lake. At times the river overflows its banks.
This leads to the flooding of the
neighbouring areas. As it floods, it
deposits layers of fine soil and other
material called sediments along its
banks. This leads to the formation
of a flat fertile floodplain. The raised
banks are called levees. As the river
approaches the sea, the speed of the
flowing water decreases and the

river begins to break up
into a number of streams
called distributaries. The
river becomes so slow that
it begins to deposit its load.
Each distributary forms its
own mouth. The collection
of sediments from all the
mouths forms a delta.
Work of Sea Waves
The erosion and deposition of
the sea waves gives rise to
coastal landforms. Seawaves
continuously strike at the
rocks. Cracks develop. Over
time they become larger and
wider. Thus, hollow like caves
are formed on the rocks. They
are called sea caves. As these
cavities become bigger and
bigger only the roof of the
caves remain, thus forming sea
arches. Further, erosion
breaks the roof and only walls
are left. These wall like features are called stacks.
The steep rocky coast rising almost vertically above
sea water is called sea cliff. The sea waves deposit
sediments along the shores forming beaches.
Work of Ice
Glaciers are “rivers of ice” which
too erode the landscape by
bulldozing soil and stones to
expose the solid rock below.
Glaciers carve out deep hollows
there. As the ice melts they get
filled up with water and become
beautiful lakes in the
mountains. The material carried
by the glacier such as rocks big
and small, sand and silt gets
deposited. These deposits form
glacial moraines.
