- Lithospheric Plates means the earth's crust consists of several large and some small rigid, irregularly shaped plates which carry continents and ocean floor. These plates move around very slowly. ... They are moving because of the molten lava inside the earth. The molten lava inside the earth moves in a circular manner.
- The Earth is in a constant state of change. Earth's crust, called the lithosphere, consists of 15 to 20 moving tectonic plates. ... The heat from radioactive processes within the planet's interior causes the plates to move, sometimes toward and sometimes away from each other
- 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).
- 2.a)Volcanoes are openings, or vents where lava, tephra (small rocks), and steam erupt on to the Earth's surface. Many mountains form by folding, faulting, uplift, and erosion of the Earth's crust. ... The vent may be visible as a small bowl shaped depression at the summit of a cone or shield-shaped mountain.
