  • 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
  • When the land is shaped by Endogenic Forces we call this?
    ENDOGENIC PROCESSES
  • The main Endogenic Processes are?
    FOLDING AND FAULTING
  • When two forces push towards each other from opposite sides, the
    rock layers will bend into folds.?
    Folding
  • A break in rock along which a vertical or horizontal rock movement has occurred is called a fault.?
    Faulting
  • Types of Faulting?
    Convergence
    Divergence
    Transform
  • These are Endogenic Processes that are subsequent to the main ones.?
    Volcanism
    Metamorphism
    Earthquake
  • Magma beneath the crust is under very great pressure. When folding faulting occur, cracks or fractures which are lines of weakness are created.?
    Volcanism
  • is an endogenic process which occurs when there is pressure and heat applied to geologic structures which leads to the formation of Metamorphic Rocks.?
    Metamorphism
  • or (Seismic Activity) is a sudden shaking or vibration in the earth's crust.?
