Mountain Building on the surface of the earth is a result of which type of Forces?

The Correct Answer is Option 1 i.e Endogenic Forces.

• Endogenic forces:
  • These are internal forces that originate from within the surface of the earth. ​​
  • These internal forces lead to vertical and horizontal movements and result in subsidence, land upliftment, volcanism, faulting, folding, earthquakes, etc.
  • Mountain Building on the surface of the earth is a result of the Endogenic Force.
• Exogenic forces:
  • These are external forces, that occur on or above the earth's surface.
  • Weathering, mass wasting, erosion, and deposition are the main exogenic processes.
• Gravitational Force
  • The gravitational force is a force that attracts any two objects with mass.
  • Examples include the force that holds the gases in the sun and the force that causes a ball you throw in the air to come down again.
  • This is the weakest force among all the fundamental forces.
• Magnetic Force:
  • It is an attractive force between two moving charges.
  • Examples of magnetic force are a compass, a motor, train tracks, etc.
