  • geologic processes
    • natural forces and mechanisms that shape and modify the earths surface overtime

  • edogenic
    • endogenic processes is driven by internal forces that exist in the earth
    • endogenic forces create relief fractures on the surface of the earth

  • folds
    • created by convergent boundaries only
    • waves in earths crust, formed when rocks bend under stress caused by compression

  • rift valley and mountain ranges
    • elongated depressions formed by pulling apart tectonic plates
    • like stretching dough, rising parts on the sides are mountain ranges and the dip in the middle is the rift valley

  • mountain ranges
    • form where 2 continental plates collide
    • since both have the same thickness and weight, they crumple and fold until rocks are forced up

  • movements
    1. collision zones are when tectonic plates collide, the force pushes the crust upwards forming mountains
    2. subduction dones when 1 plate dives under another, the plate on top buckles and forms mountains
    3. continental rifting uplifting of land masses along shoulders of a rift valley

    • faults are fractures in the earths crust where movements occur, often causing earthquakes
    • boundaries are where tectonic plates meet, leading to geological features like mountains and earthquakes
