THE ENDOGENIC PROCESS

FORMED OR LOCATED BENEATH THE SURFACE OF THE

EARTH.THE ENDOGENIC PROCESS IS A NATURAL
OCCURANCE INSIDE THE INNER LAYERS OF THE EARTH.
IT IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE ENERGY IN THE INTERIOR
OF THE EARTH, THE FORCES WITHING THE EARTH THAT
CAUSES THE GROUND TO MOVE ARE CALLED ENDOGENIC
FORCES
 • WHEN THE GROUND MOVES, ROCK LAYERS
AT THE SURFACE OF THE EARTH ARE
HOW DOES BROKEN,TWISTED AND SHAKEN.

IT WORK? • WHEN THE LAND IS SHAPED BY

ENDOGENIC FORCES WE CALL THIS
ENDOGENIC PROCESSES
THE MAIN ENDOGENIC PROCESSES

FOLDING
FAULTING
FOLDING • WHEN TWO FORCES PUSH TOWARDS EACH OTHER FROM
OPPOSITE SIDES, THE ROCK LAYERS WILL BEND
PROCESS INTO FOLDS.
• THE PROCESS BY WHICH FOLD ARE FORMED ARE DUE
TO COMPRESSIONAL FORCES KNOWN AS FOLDING
 FAULTING
PROCESS
• FAULTING IS FRACTURING AND
DISPLACEMENT OF MORE BRITTLE
ROCK.
• BREAK IN THE ROCK ALONG WHICH A
VERTICAL OR A HORIZONTAL ROCK
MOVEMENT HAS OCCURRED IS CALLED A
FAULT.
• THE LINE OF THE FAULT WHICH
APPEARS ON THE LAND SURFACE IF
KNOW AS FAULT LINE.

MAGMA BENEATHT HE CRUST IS
UNDER VERY GREAT PRESSURE
WHEN FOLDING AND FAULTING
OCCURS, CRACKS OF
FRACTURES ARE CREATED.
WHEN THESE DEVELOP
DOWNWARD IN THE CRUST AND
REACH THE MAGMA THEY WILL
RELEASE THE PRESSURE IN
THE MAGMA.THIS ALLOWS THE
MAGMA TO RISE UP AND
INTRUDE INTO THE CRUST
 METAMORPHISM
IS AN ENDOGENIC PROCESS IN WHICH OCCURS WHEN THERE IS PRESSURE AND
HEAT APPLIED TO GEOLOGIC STRUCTURES WHICH LEADS TO THE FORMATION OF
METAMORPHIC ROCKS.

 EARTHQUAKES
• AN EARTHQUAKE 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.
