Section A · multiple choice
- 1.
The external forces acting on the earth’s surface are called:
- tectonic forces
- diastrophic forces
- endogenic forces
- exogenic forces
Answer
(d) exogenic forces
- 2.
Which of these is an endogenic process?
- epeirogeny
- transportation by wind
- abrasion by glaciers
- deposition
Answer
(a) epeirogeny
- 3.
What is meant by “orogeny”?
- deposition of soil components lower down
- wearing down of relief through erosion
- mountain building through severe folding
- filling up of basins and depressions
Answer
(c) mountain building through severe folding
Section B · short answer
- 4.
Distinguish between endogenic and exogenic forces.
Answer
Endogenic forces come from within the earth and build up land; exogenic forces come from the atmosphere and wear land down.
- 5.
Is each process endogenic or exogenic? (a) epeirogeny (b) weathering
Answer
(a) endogenic (b) exogenic
Section C · long answer
- 6.
Explain why the surface of the earth is uneven.
Answer
Endogenic forces keep building up parts of the crust while exogenic forces wear them down; relief remains because these opposing actions continue at different rates.
