ENDOGENIC PROCESSES (The Processes Within)

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.
How does Endogenic Process works?
When the ground moves, Rock layers at the surface of the earth are broken, twisted and shaken.
Land is destroyed in many places and created in other places.
When the land is shaped by Endogenic Forces we call this ENDOGENIC PROCESSES.
The Main Endogenic Processes
The Main Endogenic Processes are FOLDING & FAULTING or Tectonic Movements.
They take place mainly along the plate boundaries, which are the zones that are not stable.
Endogenic processes cause many major landform features.
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.
