We start with formulae for the deformation of extrinsic geometric quantities as the Riemannian metric varies along the leaves. Then, we find variations of functionals depending on the principal curvatures of the leaves (in particular, for conformal along the leaves variations of metrics).
Finally, we give applications to extrinsic Geometric Flows.
