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.

Description
Test your knowledge on endogenic processes, plate boundaries, and metamorphism in geology. This quiz covers the critical concepts of folding, faulting, and the types of plate boundaries. Explore how these geological processes shape the Earth's structure and lead to metamorphic transformations.
