    Endogenic Processes

    Uploaded by

    Audrey Credo Rosales
    Endogenic processes are geological processes that occur beneath Earth's surface and originate from within the planet. The main endogenic processes are folding and faulting caused by tectonic plate movements along plate boundaries. Folding involves rock layers bending due to compressional forces, while faulting fractures and displaces rock along fault planes caused by tension or compression. Faulting can form landforms like block mountains or rift valleys. Volcanism and metamorphism are also endogenic processes that occur subsequent to folding and faulting. Earthquakes can be triggered when plates move along faults or by volcanic activity.

    solid earth
    • the ground we live on is moving

    TWISTED AND SHAKEN.
    THE • The main endogenic processes are
    folding and faulting or tectonic
    MAIN movements.
    ENDOG • They take place mainly along the plate
    ENIC boundaries, which are the zones that are
    not stable.
    PROCE • Endogenic processes causes many
    SSES major landform features.
    FOLDING
    • When two forces push towards each other from
    opposite sides, the rock layers will bend into
    folds.
    • It is the process by which folds are alarmed due to
    compressional forces known as folding.
    • There are large-scale and small-scale folds.
    Large-scale folds are found mainly along
    destructive plate boundaries.
    FAULTING
    • It is the fracturing and displacement of more brittle rock strata along a
    fault plane either caused by tension or compression.
    • A break in rock along which a vertical or horizontal rock movement has
    occurred is called a fault.
    • The process of forming a fault.
    • The line of fault which appears on land surface is known as the fault line.
    • These lines are often lines of weakness which allow molten rock to rise
    up onto the Earth’s surface when there is active volcanic activity nearby.
    • There are three types of fault which
    are caused by different endogenic
    forces:
    1. Normal Fault (Convergence)
    TYPES OF 2. Reverse Fault (Divergence)
    FAULTING 3. Tear Fault (Transform)
    • Faulting forms two major landforms:
    1. block mountains
    2. rift valleys
    BLOCK
    MOUNTAINS
    It is a mountain
    consisting of a block
    or blocks bounded by
    normal faults in the
    Earth’s crust.
    RIFT VALLEYS
    • A linear shaped lowland
    between several
    highlands or mountain
    ranges created by the
    action of a geologic rift
    or fault.
    • It is formed on a
    divergent plate
    boundary, a crustal
    extension or spreading
    apart of the surface,
    which is subsequently
    furthered deepened by
    the forces of erosion.
    NORMAL
    FAULT
    • A geologic fault in
    which the hanging
    wall has moved
    downward relative
    to the footwall.

    • These occurs when


    two blocks of rocks
    are pulled apart as
    by tension.
    REVERSE FAULT
    • A geologic fault in which the
    hanging wall has moved
    upward relative to the
    footwall.
    • Occurs when two blocks of
    rock are forced together by
    compression.
    TEAR FAULT
    • A steep to a vertical fault
    associated with a low-
    angle overthrust fault
    and occurring in the
    hanging wall.
    • It strikes perpendicular
    to the strike of the
    overthrust; displacement
    may be horizontal and
    there may also be a
    scissor effect.
    • It is considered by some
    to be a type of strike-slip
    fault.

    OTHER
    ENDOGENIC
    Volcanism (Volcanic Activity) PROCESSES
    THAT ARE
    SUBSEQUENT
    Metamorphism
    • Also called as magmatism (also knows as volcanic
    activity or igneous activity).

    VOL • Magma beneath the crush is under very great pressure.


    When folding and faulting occurs, cracks or fractures

    CAN
    which are lines of weakness are created.
    • When these lines of weakness develop downward in
    the crust and reach the magma, they will release the

    ISM pressure in the magma.


    • This allows magma to rise up along the lines of
    weakness and intrude into the crust. Some magma may
    even reach the Earth’s surface and some may don’t.
    TWO TYPES OF VOLCANISM

    INTRUSIVE EXTRUSIVE
    VOLCANISM VOLCANISM
    INTRUSIVE VOLCANISM
    • This is when magma is forced into the rocks that make up the
    Earth’s crust.
    • When it cools and becomes solid while still underground,
    different features called plutons are formed.
    • The rock formed is intrusive igneous rock.
    This is a volcanic activity

    GRADING METAMORPHIC ROCKS
    An earthquake or a seismic
    activity is a sudden shaking or
    vibration in the Earth’s crust.

    When plates suddenly move past


    each other, the built-up strain is
    released along the fault and the EARTHQUAKES
    rock fractures.

    An earthquake can also be


    triggered by molten rocks moving
    up into the chamber of a volcano
    before eruption.
