Relate various physiographic divisions you have studied in the earlier grades with various endogenic forces responsible for their origin.
Show Answer
- The Himalayas (fold mountains) rose from the collision of the Indian and Eurasian plates.
- The Deccan Plateau was built by ancient volcanic lava flows.
- Block mountains and rift valleys form by faulting of the crust.
- So mountains and plateaus owe their origin to endogenic forces — folding, faulting and volcanic activity.
