A video explaining difference between endothermic and exothermic reactions.An endothermic reaction depends on taking in heat to proceed.So in endothermic reaction ,heat is absorbed. The opposite of an endothermic process is an exothermic process,in which energy is released in the form of heat. Suitable for :KS4,KS5,KS6,KS7 Grade 4,Grade 5,Grade 5,Grade 6,Grade 7 students
There are several plates floating on earth surface.The earth crust is covered by them, these are called tectonic plates.
