The Earth's dynamic processes are shaped by both internal and external forces that continuously transform our planet's surface and structure. Tettonica delle placche schema explains how these forces interact to create the landscape we see today.
โข Forze endogene (internal forces) originate from within the Earth and are responsible for plate tectonics, volcanic activity, and earthquakes
โข Forze esogene (external forces) come from solar energy and include wind, water, and temperature changes
โข Moti convettivi (convection currents) in the Earth's mantle drive plate movement
โข The interaction between these forces creates mountains, valleys, and ocean basins
โข Natural catastrophes can result from both types of forces
