entire geologic activity occurring on our planet and forming its relief and form, is divided into two categories: exogenous and endogenous processes.The first type, leading the relief activities on their surface, are weathering the effects of different water masses (the atmospheric, groundwater, glaciers, seas, oceans, etc.).Such processes tend to have sluggish character and they are due to the influence of solar energy, the Earth's gravity and life of various organisms.
endogenous process much faster and much more are changing the face of the Earth.The main geological processes endogenous nature are such powerful elements as volcanism, plate tectonics and earthquakes.They have a strong impact on the entire economic activity of the person and make serious changes in the ecological system of the planet.Volcanism and earthquakes, as a feature fast manifestations of internal forces of the Earth, are often catastrophic.
endogenous processes form appearance of our planet, the raising and lowering different parts of the Earth's surface.Thus, they form megaformy and macro-planetary terrain.It is due to endogenous relief-forming forces on our planet emerged mountain ranges and vast plains, huge canyons and deep oceanic trenches.Entire continents and islands owe their birth the internal forces of the Earth, and whose activities are called "endogenous processes."
Thus, all the geology of the Earth, which is the formation and development of lithospheric shell, as well as in the formation of surface relief is the ancient history of the planet and the result of the interaction of two types of forces - endogenous and exogenous.The most striking manifestation of the first are volcanic eruptions and earthquakes, energize the Earth's core and liquid heat of the inner layers of the planet.
endogenous geological processes creates enormous energy the Earth's interior, which is manifested in the movement of lithospheric plates and the implementation of the mantle into the upper layers of the lithosphere, followed by his outpouring to the surface.Such processes are due to the uniform circulation of molten metal around the core that apart from relief-plays another important role - generates a magnetic field of the planet, thus creating a reliable shield against deadly solar radiation.
Such endogenous processes cause the movement of the lithosphere, which, in turn, contributes to the displacement of large rock formations.It constantly changes the structure of the upper layers of the earth's crust and, consequently, the surface topography.
Now, like billions of years ago, the Earth is geologically active.We can say we were lucky enough to live in the time of flowering of the geological world.And incredible inner strength subsoil together with the destruction and disasters are life, creating, developing and promoting all the ecological system.But it will not always.Someday the earth's core temperature starts to fall, which significantly reduce the process of convection.This will entail a stop endogenous processes.The consequence of this stop - the disappearance of life on the planet ...
