ENDOGENIC PROCESS –is something that occurs Faults –a thin zone of crushed rock separating blocks of the
underneath the Earth’s surface. Earth’s crust
Why do we have a solid crust? (because the Earth is cooling o Normal faults –products of horizontally directed
from the outside) tensional stresses (occurs when rocks are stretched in
which the hanging wall has moved downward with
Two main types of Endogenic Process: respect to the footwall)
1. Volcanism
How are earthquakes measured?
Volcano (magma erupts during volcanic activity or
igneous activity; it is called igneous activity because Magnitude (total amount of energy that was released
the rock being formed is an igneous rock.) by the earthquake at the focus)
Magma (a molten rock) Intensity (how much a certain area was shaken when
3 considerations to generate Magma: the earthquake reached the area)
