Option (a) Exogenic
Exogenic force works on the surface of the earth.
Endogenic forces:
- Endogenic factors are agents supplying energy for actions that are located within the earth.
- Endogenic forces originate below the earth's surface.
- The heat inside the earth is the ultimate source of endogenic forces.
- Earth rotation, tidal friction and radiation all add to this energy.
- These forces include : volcanic eruption, earthquakes, faulting, folding, metamorphism etc.
Exogenic forces:
- Exogenic factors are agents supplying energy for actions that are located at the earth’s surface.
- They are driven by the gravitational pull and atmospheric forces.
- Exogenic forces are destructive in nature as they take place on the surface where every organism lives.
- These forces include: weathering, erosion, transportation and sedimentation.
Gravitational force does not result from something. It is rather a reason for exogenous and endogenous forces. Gravity is always present on earth and in every part of the universe.
