Week 2

This document provides an overview of endogenic processes, which are geological processes that occur beneath Earth's surface and originate from within the solid Earth. It discusses several key endogenic processes: 1) Earth's internal heat comes from both primordial heat generated during formation and radioactive decay. Heat is transferred to the surface via convection currents in the mantle. 2) Movement of tectonic plates leads to folding and faulting of rocks at plate boundaries. 3) Magmatism occurs as magma is generated and forms igneous rocks at mid-ocean ridges, mantle plumes, and subduction zones. 4) Metamorphism alters the composition and structure of rocks through changes in pressure

Quarter 1 , Week 2
1. Describe where the earth’s internal heat comes from.
2. Describe the changes in mineral components and texture of
rock due to changes in pressure and temperature
(metamorphism)
3. Describe how rocks behave under different types of stress such
as compression, pulling apart and shearing.

planet in the solar system with properties necessary to
support life.”

whose boundaries matter and energy flow.”

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.
ENDOGENIC PROCESSES
1. Folding & Faulting
2. Heat in the Earth’s Interior
3. Magmatism
4. Metamorphism
5. Volcanism & Plutonism
ENDOGENIC PROCESS

INTERIOR HEAT
CATEGORIES OF
HEAT
 Primordial Heat

 Radioactive Heat
PRIMORDIAL HEAT
Heat generated during earth’s formation.
Sources:
a. Accretion Energy
b. Adiabatic Compression
c. Core Formation
Energy
a. ACCRETION
ENERGY

Heat released from


collision of planetary
objects during the early
formation of the planets.
b. ADIABATIC COMPRESSION
- Heat generated as materials are
compressed.

c. CORE FORMATION ENERGY


- Heat from the earth’s core
RADIOACTIVE HEAT

Heat generated by long-term


radioactive decay.

Sources: K40,Th232, U235, U238


CONVECTION
When a fluid, such as air or a liquid, is
heated and then travels away from the source,
it carries the thermal energy along. This type
of heat transfer is called convection. The
fluid above a hot surface expands, becomes
less dense, and rises.
CIRCULATION OF HEAT
ENDOGENIC PROCESS

FOLDING & FAULTING


FOLDING
 When two forces push towards each
other from opposite sides, the rock layers will
bend into folds.
 The process by which folds 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 which a vertical or
horizontal rock movement has occurred is
called a fault.
FAULTING
 The process of forming a faulting.
 The line of fault which appears on land surface is

known as fault line.


 These lines are often lines of weakness which allow
molten rock to rise up onto the earth surface when
there is active volcanic activity nearby.
TYPES OF
FAULTING
ENDOGENIC PROCESS

MAGMATISM
MAGMATISM

Happens when magma generated


and develops into igneous rocks.
Where does magma form?
1. Mid-oceanic ridges
2. Mantle plumes
3. Subduction zones
MID-OCEANIC RIDGES

The rising magma in


mantle convection cell
brings heat to the
surface, transferring heat
to the overlying rocks.
MID-OCEANIC RIDGES

The transfer of heat due to the


convection is accompanied by a
decrease in pressure or decompression
associated with the spreading of the
tectonic plates.
MANTLE PLUMES

The transfer of heat and the


compressionresult to magma
generation. The source of heat for
mantle plumes is much deeper.
SUBDUCTION
ZONES
Oceanic crustal rocks are formed along
spreading centers, typically beneath
several kilometers of sea water.
ENDOGENIC PROCESS

METAMORPHISM
METAMORPHISM
Process of changing materials that
make upthe rock. The chemical
components and geologic
characteristics of the rock change
because of exposure to heat &
pressure.
Influencing
Rock Behavior
Compression
Tension
Shearing
Confining
COMPRESSION

Rocks push or squeeze against one


another where the stress produced is
directed towards the center.
TENSION
 Rocks pulled apart Rocks may
separate in opposite direction
SHEARING
 Some of the portion of a plate at the
edge may break away in different
directions.
 Eventually making the plate smaller
inside.
CONFINING

 The crust become compact,


thus making it look smaller.

Albert Garcia’s award-winning photo


taken on June 15, 1991 was chosen by
Time as one of the “Greatest Images of the
20th Century” and also by the National
Geographic Magazine as one of “100 Best
Pictures” of the 20th Century. Garcia is
currently the photo editor of Manila
Bulletin.
PLUTONISM

the formation of intrusive igneous rock by solidification of


magma beneath the earth's surface.
VOLCANISM

- the phenomenon of
eruption of molten rock
(magma) onto the
surface of the Earth or a
solid- surface planet.
VOLCANO
A volcano is a vent or opening on planet’s
surface which allows molten rock called
magma, volcanic ash and gas to escape out
onto its surface. A volcano gives a look
like a mountain from which lava erupts.
The hot magma erupting from a volcano is
called lava.
TECTONIC PLATES

Most volcanoes are formed by the movement of tectonic surface of the earth. These plates are
basically huge pieces of rock that ‘float’ on the plates on the mantle (a layer of the earth that is sort-of
liquid rock).
AREAS WHERE
MOSTVOLCANOES OCCUR

Edge of Tectonic Plates

the top of a volcano formed

the volcano by explosions

Caldera – when the volcano


collapses due to an empty
