The document discusses endogenic and exogenic geomorphic movements and processes. Endogenic movements are large-scale movements of the earth's crust driven by internal forces from deep below the surface, such as plate tectonics. They include diastrophic movements like folding and faulting, as well as sudden events like earthquakes. Exogenic processes are brought about by external forces from above the surface, like wind and water, and include weathering, mass movement, and erosion and transportation of material. Both endogenic and exogenic processes continuously shape and alter the earth's surface through geomorphic movements and landform development.
Geology, a word that literally means “study of Earth”. Geology is traditionally divided into two broad areas: physical and historical.
Physical geology examines the materials composing Earth and seeks to understand the many processes that operate beneath and upon its surface. Earth is a dynamic, ever-changing planet. Internal forces create earthquakes, build mountains, and produce volcanic structures. At the surface, external processes break rock apart and sculpt a broad array of landforms. The erosional effects of water, wind, and ice result in a great diversity of landscapes. Because rocks and minerals form in response to Earth’s internal and external processes, their interpretation is basic to an understanding of our planet.
In contrast to physical geology, the aim of historical geology is to understand the origin of Earth and the development of the planet through its-billion-year history.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. GEOMORPHIC MOVEMENTS
• The formation and deformation of landforms on the surface of the earth are a continuous process
which is due to the continuous influence of external and internal forces. The internal and
external forces causing stresses and chemical action on earth materials and bringing about changes in
the configuration of the surface of the earth are known as geomorphic processes.
• EARTH MOVEMENTS
3. •The Large-scale Movements On The Earth’s Crust Or Its Surface Brought Down By The Forces Emanating From Deep Below The
Earth’s Surface Are Called As Endogenic Geomorphic Movements Or Simply Endogenic Movements (Endo: Internal; Genic: Origin;
Geo: Earth; Morphic: Form).
The Geomorphic Processes That Are Driven By The Forces Emanating From Deep Below The Earth’s Surface Are Called Endogenic
Geomorphic Processes (Folding, Faulting, Etc.).
The Ultimate Source Of Energy Behind Forces That Drive Endogenic Movements Is Earth’s Internal Heat.
Earth’s Internal Heat Is A Result Of Mainly Radioactive Decay (50% Of The Earth’s Internal Heat) And Gravitation (Causes Pressure
Gradients).
Differences In Temperature And Pressure (Temperature Gradients Or Geothermal Gradients And Pressure Gradients) Among
Various Layers Of The Earth Give Rise To Density Differences And These Density Differences Give Rise To Conventional
Currents.
Convectional Currents In The Mantle Drive The Lithospheric Plates (Crust And Upper Mantle) And The Movement Of The
Lithospheric Plates (Tectonics) Is The Cause Behind Endogenic Movements.
The Earth’s Rotation (Coriolis Effect) Can Influence Where Convection Currents Travel.
The Destination Of Convection Currents Determines The Nature And Location Of The Endogenic Movements.
FORCEBEHIND ENDOGENIC MOVEMENTS
4. CLASSIFICATION OF ENDOGENIC MOVEMENTS
• Endogenetic movements are divided into
Diastrophic movements and Sudden
Movements.
• Diastrophism refers to deformation of
Earth’s crust.
• Diastrophic movements are gradual and
might stretch for thousand of years.
• On the other hand, Sudden movements like
earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur in
a very short period.
5. DIASTROPHISM
• Diastrophic movements are further classified
into Epeirogenic movements (continent
forming - subsidence and upliftment) and
Orogenic movements (mountain building –
folding and faulting).
Orogenic processes involving mountain
building through severe folding
Epeirogenic processes involving uplift or
warping of large parts of the earth’s crust
(simple deformation)
6. EXOGENIC GEOMORPHIC MOVEMENTS
• The geomorphic processes on the earth’s crust or its surface brought down by the forces emanating from above the
earth’s surface (wind, water) are called exogenic geomorphic process.
• Exogenic geomorphic process gives rise to exogenic geomorphic movements such as weathering and erosion.
• The effects of most of the exogenic geomorphic processes are small and slow but will, in the long run, affect the
rocks severely due to continued fatigue.
THEFORCEBEHIND EXOGENIC MOVEMENTS
• Exogenic processes derive their energy from atmosphere determined by ultimate energy from the sun and the
gradients created by tectonic forces.
7. EXOGENIC GEOMORPHIC PROCESS ARE COVERED UNDER A GENERAL TERM,
DENUDATION.
THE WORD ‘DENUDE’ MEANS TO STRIP OFF OR TO UNCOVER.
DENUDATION LEADS TO
WEATHERING
MASS MOVEMENT
EROSION/ TRANSPORTATION
DENUDATION
8. 1. WEATHERING
• Weathering is the disintegration of rocks, soil, and
minerals under the influence of physical and
chemical agents.
• As very little or no motion of materials takes place
in weathering, it is an in-situ or on-site process.
• Weathered material is carried farther away by
erosion.
• There are 3 major groups of weathering processes:
1. CHEMICAL;
2. PHYSICAL OR MECHANICAL;
3. BIOLOGICAL WEATHERING PROCESSES.
• All the types of weathering often go hand in hand.
2. MASS MOVEMENT
• Mass movement is also known as mass
wasting.
• It is the movement of masses of bodies of
mud, bedrock, soil, and rock debris,
because of the gravitational pull.
• Mass movements which are sliding of
huge amounts of soil and rock are seen in
mudslides, landslides, and avalanches.
• These are very active over weathered slopes
rather than over unweathered materials.
• Mass movements do not come under
erosion though there is a shift of materials
from one place to another.
• Recent case of Joshimath, Uttarakhand.
Settled on an old landslide zone.
9. 3. EROSION/ TRANSPORTATION
• Erosion is the process by which soil and rock
particles are worn away and moved elsewhere
by gravity, or by a moving transport agent –
wind, water or ice.
• Transport refers to the processes by which the
sediment is moved along
• – for example, pebbles rolled along a river-
bed or sea shore, sand grains whipped up by
the wind, salts carried in solution.
