Question

describe systematically the vertical and horizontal movements originating in the earth's crust?​

Answer 1

Diastrophic forces include both vertical and horizontal movements which are caused due to forces deep within the earth. These diastrophic forces operate very slowly and their effects become discernible after thousands and millions of years. These forces, also termed as constructive forces, affect larger areas of the globe and produce meso-level reliefs (e.g., mountains, plateaux, plains, lakes, big faults etc.).
