Endogenic Process

Endogenic processes are geological processes occurring beneath Earth's surface originating from its interior. The main endogenic processes are folding and faulting along tectonic plate boundaries, which deform and fracture rock. Subsequent processes include volcanism, metamorphism, and earthquakes. Endogenic processes have shaped Earth's geologic structures and landforms through movements and forces within the planet.

WHAT ARE ENDOGENIC
PROCESSES?
Endogenic Processes are geological
processes that occur beneath the surface
of the Earth.
It is associated with energy originating in
the interior of the solid Earth.
The ground we live on is moving all the
time. The forces within the earth that
cause the ground to move are called
Endogenic Forces.
HOW DOES ENDOGENIC PROCESS
WORKS?
When the ground moves, Rock layers at
the surface of the earth are broken,
twisted and shaken.
Land is destroyed in many places and
created in other places.
When the land is shaped by Endogenic
Forces, we call this Endogenic Processes.
THE MAIN ENDOGENIC PROCESSES
The main Endogenic Processes are
FOLDING or FAULTING or Tectonic
Movements.
They take place mainly along the plate
boundaries, which are the zones that re
not stable.
Endogenic Processes cause many major
landform features.
FOLDING
When two forces push towards each other
from opposite sides, the rock layers will
bent into folds.
The process by which fold are formed are
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
Faulting 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 with a vertical or
horizontal rock movement has occurred is
called fault.
There are types of fault which are caused
by different endogenic forces:
 Normal Fault (Convergence)
 Reverse Fault (Divergence)
 Tear Fault (Transform)
• Faulting forms two major landforms-
block mountains and rift valleys.
OTHER ENDOGENIC PROCESSES
(Subsequent)
These are Endogenic processes that are
subsequent to the main ones.
 Volcanism (Volcanic Activity)
 Metamorphism
 Earthquake (Seismic Activity)
VOLCANISM
VOLCANISM or magmatism (also known as
volcanic activity or igneous activity)
Magma beneath the crust is under very great
pressure. When folding and faulting occur, cracks or
fractures 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
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 don’t.
RESULTS OF VOLCANISM
METAMORPHISM
Metamorphism is an endogenic process
which occurs when there is pressure and
heat applied to geologic structures which
leads to the formation of Metamorphic
Rocks.
EARTHQUAKES
An Earthquake (or 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 rock fractures.
An earthquake also can be triggered by
molten rock moving up into the chamber
of a volcano before eruption.
SUMMARY
Endogenic Processes are processes that is formed or
occurring beneath the surface of the Earth.
The main Endogenic Processes are Folding and
Faulting (or Tectonic Movements)
The subsequent Endogenic Processes are Volcanism
and Earthquakes.
Endogenic processes cause many major landform
features.
Endogenic processes have been responsible for shaping
the earth’s geologic structures and the formation of
many of the most important mineral resources.
