    Study Notes

    Endogenic Processes

    • Processes occurring beneath the Earth's surface
    • Folding and faulting are two types of Endogenic movements

    Plate Boundaries

    • Divergent - Two plates separating or moving apart
    • Convergent - Two plates colliding
    • Transform - Two plates sliding past each other

    Metamorphism

    • Transformation of existing rock to rock with different mineral compositions or textures

    Earthquake
