Lithospheric plates are the plates that comprise the fractured surface of the earth. Lithospheric plates are of two types: 1. continental plates 2.oceanic plates . Earthquake and volcanic activity is common along the boundaries of Lithospheric plates.

EARTH MOVEMENTS The earth movements are divided on the basis of forces. Endogenic forces. Exogenic forces

Endogenic or endogenous The term Endogenic refers to internal processes and phenomena that occur beneath the earth's surface - or any other celestial body. earthquakes and volcanoes are all endogenic processes.

Volcano A volcano is an opening, or rupture, in a planet's surface or crust, which allows hot, molten rock, ash, and gases to escape from below the surface The word volcano is derived from Italian volcano , after Vulcan, the Roman god of fire.

Earthquake An earthquake (also known as a tremor or temblor ) is the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves. Earthquakes are recorded with a seismometer, also known as a seismograph.

Exogenic or exogenous Exogenic refers to external processes and phenomena that occur on or above the Earth's surface. Weathering effects and erosion are exogenic processes.

Weathering Weathering is the decomposition of Earth rocks, soils and minerals through direct contact with the planet's atmosphere.

Erosion Erosion is the removal of solids (sediment, soil, rock and other particles) in the natural environment. It usually occurs due to transport by wind, water, or ice.

Waterfall A waterfall is a place where flowing water rapidly drops in elevation as it flows over a steep region or a cliff.

Features made by a river. The following features are made by a river- Meanders Ox-bow lake Floodplain Levees Delta

The following features are made by a river-

Meanders

meanders A meander in general is a bend in a sinuous watercourse. A meander is formed when the moving water in a river erodes the outer banks and widens its valley.

Ox-bow lake An oxbow lake is a U-shaped body of water formed when a wide meander from the main stem of a river is cut off to create a lake. This landform is called an oxbow lake for the distinctive curved shape that results from this process.

Flood plain A floodplain , or flood plain , is flat or nearly flat land adjacent to a stream or river that experiences occasional or periodic flooding.

Levees A levee , levée , dike (or dyke ), embankment , flood bank or stop bank is a natural or artificial slope or wall to regulate water levels. It is usually earthen and often parallel to the course of a river or the coast.

Delta A delta is a landform that is created at the mouth of a river where that river flows into an ocean, sea, estuary, lake, reservoir, flat arid area, or another river. Deltas are formed from the deposition of the sediment carried by the river as the flow leaves the mouth of the river.

Features made by sea waves The features are- Sea caves Sea arches Stack Sea cliff

The features are-

Sea cliff

Sea caves A sea cave , also known as a littoral cave , is a type of cave formed primarily by the wave action of the sea. The primary process involved is erosion.

Sea arches A sea arch is a natural arch or bridge made of stone that has been created through the process of land, wind, or water erosion.

Stack A stack is a geological landform consisting of a steep and often vertical column or columns of rock in the sea near a coast. Stacks are formed when part of a headland is eroded by hydraulic action, which is the force of the sea or water crashing against the rock.

Glacier A glacier is a large mass of ice moving slowly over some land surface or down a valley, formed over long periods from the accumulation of snow in areas where the amount of snow that falls exceeds the amount that melts.

Glacial moranies A moraine is any glacially formed accumulation of unconsolidated glacial debris (soil and rock) which can occur in currently glaciated and formerly glaciated regions, such as those areas acted upon by a past ice age.

Features made by wind These are the features- Mushroom rocks Sand dunes Loess

Mushroom rocks Mushroom rocks , also called Rock pedestals , are one of the most striking manifestations of the processes of erosion and weathering. Usually found in desert areas..

Sand dunes Dunes are subject to different forms and sizes based on their interaction with the wind. Most kinds of dune are longer on the windward side where the sand is pushed up the dune, and a shorter "slip face" in the lee of the wind.

loess Loess is a geologic term that refers to deposits of silt (sediment with particles 2-64 microns in diameter) that have been laid down by wind action. When the wind slowed, the silt would fall out and blanket the area. Frequently the resulting loess deposits are several meters thick (tens of feet).
