    Endogenic

    Uploaded by

    Vicki Punzalan
    Endogenic processes are geological processes originating within the Earth that shape its surface landforms. They include tectonic movements, magmatism, metamorphism, and seismic activity. Specifically, igneous processes like volcanism and plutonism form new rock through magma cooling, while tectonic processes like folding, faulting, and plate tectonics cause uplift and subsidence that create mountain ranges and rift valleys. Together these endogenic forces are responsible for much of the Earth's topography and mineral resources.

    Geomorphology
    Is a major subfield of physical geography devoted to the scientific
    study of landforms.

    ▪ It explains the origin, shape, and spatial distribution of terrain features of


    all kinds
    ▪ It explains the processes that modify and destroy landforms
    ENDOGENIC PROCESSES
    geological processes associated with energy originating
    in the interior of the solid earth.
    ▪ include tectonic movements of the crust, magmatism,
    metamorphism, and seismic activity.
    ▪ have been responsible for shaping the earth’s relief and
    the formation of many of the most important mineral
    resources.
    ▪ increases relief by raising or lowering the land surface.
    Endogenic Processes
    ▪ Igneous Processes
    a. Volcanism: Volcanic Eruptions (Volcanoes)
    b. Plutonism: Igneous intrusions
    ▪ Tectonic Processes (Diastrophism)
    a. Folding: Anticlines, Synclines, Mountains
    b. Faulting: Rift valleys
    c. Lateral Faulting: Strike-strip Faults
    Igneous Processes
    Igneous rocks are created when a melt cools and freezes solid.
    High temperatures inside the earth cause a solid rock to transform
    into a flowing melt. When this melt cools, it forms a new igneous rock.
    The word igneous is derived from the Latin root ignis, which means fire.
    Igneous rocks are the most abundant rock type on the planet.

    Magma
    - is a mixture of molten rocks, minerals
    and gases.
    - it originates in the lower part of the Earth’s
    crust and in the upper portion of the mantle
    known as asthenosphere.
    Volcanism
    - Is a phenomenon in which materials are erupted from
    the Earth's interior onto the surface.
    Plutonism
    - is the process by which magma rises through the
    crust and crystallizes as an intrusive igneous rock
    beneath the Earth’s surface. Pluton is a generic word
    for any igneous intrusive rock body.
    Tectonic Processes
    are those that build up the surface of the earth. They are revealed
    by tectonic structures such as faults and folds.

    Continental Drift
    – is the movement of the Earth's continents
    relative to each other, thus appearing to "drift"
    across the ocean bed.
    Alfred Wegener
    – was a German polar researcher, geophysicist
    and meteorologist.
    – the originator of the theory of continental drift
    by hypothesizing in 1912 that the continents are
    slowly drifting around the Earth.
    Tectonic Plate Theory
    states that the Earth's lithosphere is made up individual p
    lates that are broken down into over a dozen large and s
    mall pieces of solid rock.
    – explain the movements of the Earth's lithosphere
    that have formed the landscape features we see ac
    ross the globe today.
    Plate Boundaries
    Convergent Boundary
    – Oceanic-Continental Convergence
    (Trenches, Earthquakes, Mountain Ranges
    & Volcanic Arc)
    – Oceanic-Oceanic Convergence (Trenches
    & Volcanic Arc)
    – Continental-Continental Convergence
    (Mountain Ranges
    Plate Boundaries
    Divergent Boundary
    ▪ seafloor spreading
    ▪ rift valley
    Plate Boundaries
    Transform Boundary
    The result of two massive plates pushing against one another is that massive
    amounts of energy build up. Occasionally this energy is released suddenly
    in the form of large earthquakes.
    Types of Folds
    Types of Folds
    Types of Folds
    Earthquakes
    - Evidence of present-day tectonic activity.
    - Are ground motions of Earth caused when accumulating
    tectonic stress is relieved by the sudden displacement of
    rocks along a fault.

    •An earthquake is the vibration of Earth, produc


    ed by the rapid release of energy.
    • Energy released radiates in all directions from i
    ts source, the focus.
    • Energy is in the form of waves.
    • Sensitive instruments around the world record
    the event.
    Distribution of Endogenic Processes
    The geographic distributions of earthquake and
    volcanic activity are quite similar, and plate tectonics
    determines where much of that activity occurs.

    The greatest tectonic forces, most extensive faults, most


    dangerous earthquakes, largest mountain ranges, and
    most of the world’s volcanic activity are concentrated in
    relatively narrow zones along the boundaries of
    lithospheric plates.
