Endogenic Processes

Endogenic processes

• Formed , located or occurring beneath the surface of the earth

• When the land is shaped by Endogenic Forces

ENDOGENIC FORCES

• The Forces within the earth that cause the ground to move are called?

• Folding

• Faulting

Main Endogenic processes

Folding

• When two forces push towards each other from opposite sides

• The process by which folds are formed are due to compressional forces known as folding.

• Normal fault (convergence)

• Reverse fault ( divergence)

• Tear fault (transform)

Types Of Faulting

block mountains and rift valleys

Faulting forms two major landforms

Intrusive volcanism

Extrusive volcanism

Two types of Volcanism

Metamorphism

• Occurs when there is pressure and heat applied to geologic structures which leads to the formation of Metamorphic Rocks.

Earthquakes

• Is a sudden shaking or vibration in the earth's crust.

• When plates suddenly move past each other

• Can be triggered by molten rock moving up into the chamber of a volcano before eruption

• Volcanism

• Metamorphism

• Earthquakes
