Endogenic processes are geological processes that occur beneath the Earth's surface and are driven by energy from the planet's interior. They include folding and faulting of rock layers, magmatism, metamorphism, and volcanism. The main types of volcanoes are composite volcanoes, cinder cone volcanoes, and shield volcanoes. Folding occurs when opposing forces bend rock layers, faulting involves fracturing and displacement of rock strata, and magmatism is the formation of igneous rock from magma.

Endogenic Proccess
• 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 process. Endogenic Processes
• Folding & Faulting
• Heat in the Earth’s Interior • Magmatism • Metamorphism • Volcanism & Plutonism Folding & Faulting
• Folding- when two forces push towards each other from
opposite sides, the rock layers will bend into folds.
• Faulting- faulting is the fracturing and displacement of
more brittle rock strata along a fault plane either caused by tension or compression. Interior Heat • Primordial Heat- Heat generated during earth’s formation. Sources:
Accretion Energy- Heat released from collision of planetary objects
during the early formation of planets.
Core Formation Energy- Heat from earth’s core.
Radioactive Heat- Heat generated by long term radioactive decay.
Magmatism • It happens when magma generated and develops into igneous rocks. Mantle Plumes • The transfer of heat and the compression result to magma generation. SUBDUCTION ZONE
• Oceanic crustal rocks ate formed
along spreading centers, typically beneath several kilometers of sea water. Metamorphism • It is the process of changing materials that make up the rock, the chemical components and geologic characteristics of the rocks change because of exposure to heat & pressure. Compression • Rocks push or squeeze against on another where the stress produced is directed towards the center. Tension • 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. Volcanism • It is the phenomenon of eruption of molten rocks ( 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 rocks called magma, volcanic ash and gas to escape out onto its surface. Tectonic Plates • Most volcanoes are formed by the movement of tectonic plates on the surface of the earth. • The edge of the tectonic plates are the areas where most volcanoes form. Crater • A funnel shaped pit at the top of a volcano, it is formed when materials are blown out of the volcano by explosion. Caldera • It is when the volcano collapses due to an empty magma chamber. Types of volcano
• Composite volcano • Cinder cone volcano • Shield Volcanoes Composite Volcanoes • Composite volcanoes often form the largest and tallest volcanoes, they are the most explosive and dangerous of the types of volcanoes. Cinder Cone Volcano • It is usually smaller than composite volcano and the eruptions are smaller also , they form into steep cone shaped hills. Quiz
