Our Changing Earth

The lithosphere is broken into a number of plates known as the Lithospheric plates. You will be surprised to know that these plates move around very slowly- just a few millimeters each year. This is because of the movement of the molten magma inside the earth.The molten magma inside the earth moves in circular manner as shown in the activity.

      The movement of these plates causes changes on the surface of the earth. The earth movements are divided on the basis of the forces which cause them .The forces which act in the interior of the earth are called as Endogenic forces and the forces that work on the surface of the earth are called as Exogenic forces .
