Endogenous and exogenous



Volcanoes are an endogenous process.



The Moon causes tides, which are periodic rises and falls, in the Earth's oceans and other big bodies of water.

The Earth is shaped by many different geological processes. The forces that cause these processes come from both above and beneath the Earth's surface. Processes that are caused by forces from within the Earth are endogenous processes. By contrast, exogenous processes come from forces on or above the Earth's surface. Endo is a prefixmeaning "in" while Exo is a prefix meaning "out".

There are three main endogenous processes: folding, faulting and volcanism. They take place mainly along the plate boundaries, which are the zones that lay on the edges of plates. These zones are weak. Endogenous processes cause many major landformfeatures.

Many exogenous (extraterrestrial) forces are as a result of other bodies in space. For example, the Moon causes tides in the Earth's oceans and other big bodies of water. Impacts from comets and meteoroids change the surface of the Earth. When they strike the Earth, they create craters which are holes, which can be very big or small, in the ground. Radiation from the Sun can cause aurorae, which are lights that can be seen at night near the poles.

An example of an exogenous process that is not as a result of bodies in space is erosion. Erosion happens as a result of wind, water, ice, or people, animals, or plants digging in the Earth. Some other examples of exogenous process are rainfall, snowfall, hailstorm, erosion, tsunamis, avalanches, winds, wave currents etc.

Metamorphic rock

rock resulting from a process called metamorphism; metamorphic rocks arise from the transformation of existing rock types, in a process called metamorphism, which means "change in form"

Erosion

actions of exogenic processes which remove soil and rock from one location on the Earth's crust, then transport it to another location where it is deposited

Rock cycle

time-consuming transitions through geologic time among the three main rock types: sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous

ENDOGENIC FORCES - Endogenic Forces and Evolution of Land forms. ... We also know that endogenic forces(internal) and exogenic forces (external) are the two main types of geomorphic processes which results in earth movements.
EXOGENIC FORCE - The Earth is shaped by many different geological processes. The forces that cause these processes come from both above and beneath the Earth's surface. Processes that are caused by forces from within the Earth are endogenous processes. By contrast, exogenous processes come from forces on or above the Earth's surface. Endo is a prefix meaning "in" while Exo is a prefix meaning "out".

There are three main endogenous processes: folding, faulting and volcanism. They take place mainly along the plate boundaries, which are the zones that lay on the edges of plates. These zones are weak. Endogenous processes cause many major landform features.

Many exogenous (extra-terrestrial) forces are as a result of other bodies in space. For example, the Moon causes tides in the Earth's oceans and other big bodies of water. Impacts from comets and meteoroids change the surface of the Earth. When they strike the Earth, they create craters which are holes, which can be very big or small, in the ground. Radiation from the Sun can cause aurorae, which are lights that can be seen at night near the poles.

Some other examples of exogenous process are rainfall, snowfall, hailstorm, erosion ,tsunamis, avalanches, winds, wave currents etc.

Good luck!!

Endogenic forces:

The forces coming from within the earth and causing horizontal and vertical movements are called as endogenic forces (A.K.A. endogenetic forces). [Refer to Geophysics for detailed explanations.] It is these movements which lead to land upliftment and subsidence, folding and faulting, earthquakes and volcanism, etc. Endogenic movements are responsible for giving birth to major relief features such as mountains, plateaus, plains, valleys, etc. These movements fall into two major categories, on the basis of the intensity.

Exogenic forces:

Exogenic (A.K.A. exogenetic) refers to external processes and phenomena that occur on or above the surface of the earth. 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.
