Question

Distiguish between endogenic and exogenic forces on the basis of their intensity

Answer 1

Endogenic forces originate from within the surface of the earth.

Exogenic or external forces are the pressure that occurs on or above the earth’s surface.

Examples

Endogenic forces include earthquakes, mountain formation.

Exogenic forces include the tidal force of the moon, erosion.

Nature of Movements

Endogenic forces can result in both slow and/ or sudden motions.

Exogenic forces will always lead to slow motions.

Visibility

Endogenic forces produce after-effects that are visible only after it causes sudden damage.

Exogenic forces create changes visible over a period of thousands or millions of years.
