DIASTROPHIS • REFERS TO THE VERTICAL AND

M HORIZONTAL MOVEMENT OF THE

CRUST THAT TYPICALLY
PRODUCES THE MOUNTAINS. IT IS
ALSO CHARACTERIZED BY THE
LARGE MOVEMENT ON THE
EARTH’S CRUST.

 EROSION
Is the physical removal of rock or wearing down of landmasses by geomorphic agent
such as running water, glacial ice, and wind.
Rocks and other materials which are exposed to the surface of Earth and come in contact
with the atmosphere decompose through the process called weathering

 VOLCANISM
Sometimes called volcanicity, is the
phenomenon related to various process
associated with the surface discharge of
magma or hot water and steams including
volcanoes, geysers, fumaroles, and hot
springs.
 GEYSER
Is a phenomenon on the surface
where the groundwater beneath the
shallow surface is heated up until it
explodes into boiling water and
steam and then refills its plumbing
system with freshwater creating a
cycle that can be observed
periodically like in a matter of
minutes or hours

 FUMAROLES
Emit mixtures of steam and other gases such as hydrogen sulfide which forms into
sulfuric acid and native sulfur upon contact other elements.

 HOT SPRINGS
Occur in many geothermal area where the surface of earth intersects
the water table
 VOLCANO
Is an example of extrusive volcanism. It is typically a cone-shaped hill
or
Lava or ejection of rock fragments from a vent. It is passage or rupture
through the Earth’s crust leading to hot liquid deposits of magma within
the mantle. The term derived its name from Vulcano , an island off
Sicily named after the Roman god of fire, Vulcan.
