Study Notes
Endogenic Processes
- Endogenic processes are those that occur beneath the Earth's surface.
- Two types of endogenic processes include folding and faulting.
- These processes involve the movement of tectonic plates.
Plate Boundaries
- Plate boundaries are the regions where tectonic plates meet.
- Three types of boundaries are divergent, convergent, and transform.
- Divergent boundaries - two plates separate or diverge.
- Convergent boundaries - two plates are colliding.
- Transform boundaries - two plates are sliding.
Metamorphism
- Metamorphism is the transformation of existing rock.
- This can result in rocks having different mineral compositions or textures.
- Metamorphism is a result of the formation of an earthquake.
