What do you mean by exogenic and endogenic forces? Give two examples that can be counted as an effect of these two forces.

Answer:

Endogenic forces cause movements of the earth's crust. These movements can be slow or sudden. Sudden movements may lead to earthquakes, landslides and volcanic eruptions. Slow movements cause land folding and faulting as well as elevations (mountains) and depressions (rift valleys). Exogamic forces on the other hand are forces that change the earth's surface (crust) from outside-these include weathering, erosion, soil creep and landslides.
