Bobo.id – Do you often watch the mountains from a distance?

The sight of a mountain seen from a distance is a beautiful sight that cools the eyes, isn’t it?

As you know, the surface planet Earth it’s uneven.

There are parts of the Earth’s surface that are towering, and there are parts of the Earth’s surface that form a downward depression.

Mountain and mountains including on the appearance of the Earth’s surface rising upwards.

Guess why is that, huh?

The movement of the bowels of the earth is known as endogenous energy


After observing the earth’s surface, now is the time for us to explore the interior of the Earth or the bowels of the Earth.

The situation in the belly of the Earth is not the same as with the surface of the Earth.

The bowels of the Earth are filled with hot rock, incandescent magma, and gas. Magma is molten rock due to the heat of the Earth’s bowels.

The belly of the Earth is very actively moving, lo! This movement is called endogenous energy or energy in the Earth.

Someday, when the endogenous forces strengthen, the contents of the bowels of the Earth will come out to the surface.

Cause Mountains Can Be High

A strong endogenous force will push the contents of the bowels of the Earth out through the Earth’s surface.

The soil on the surface will be pushed up by endogenous forces from within the Earth.

The part of the Earth’s surface that is pushed will continue to rise and rise in height.

At some point, the initially flat surface of the ground will be pushed into a hill, then into a mountain.

If the endogenous force is too strong, the ground will crack to form a mountain crater.

When a crack occurs, the contents of the earth’s bowels will come out, in the form of hot cloud gas, incandescent lava (magma), and volcanic ash.

That is why mountains can be higher than the surrounding plains.

It turns out that it is due to the encouragement of endogenous forces that exist in the bowels of the Earth.
