2. which means “inside”
are processes of internal origin
It takes place inside the Globe
cause things like earthquakes
and generation of volcanic
activities like volcanic
eruption.
3. GEOLOGIC PROCESSES
These are processes that
occurs within the earth.
geo which means “Earth”
Example: earthquakes,
volcanic explosion.
4. EARTHQUAKE
refers to the shaking of the earth’s
lithosphere.
LITHOSPHERE
Refers to the land masses of the
earth.
5. DIASTROPHIC PROCESSES
Folding and Faulting occur
when pressure deep within
the lithosphere cause the
earth’s surface to buckle,
bend and even split apart.
6. FOLDING
Fold mountains occur where the
crust is pushed up as plates collide
which causes the crust to rise up in
folds.
Examples: Andes, Himalayas, Juras
in Switzerland, Appalachias and Mt.
Everest.
7. FAULTING
When the tension and
compression associated with
plate movement is so great
that blocks of rock fracture or
break apart.
9. MAGMATISM
Is the emplacement of magma within
and at the surface of the outer layers
of a terrestrial planet, which solidifies
as igneous rocks.
Is one of the main processes
responsible for mountain formation.
18. TENSION
Tension is the opposite
compression. Compression
forces the rocks and crust
to collide and move
together; tension forces
the rocks to pull apart.
19. SHEAR
When shear stress occurs,
the force of the stress
pushes some of the crust
in different direction.
