ENDOGENIC PROCESS Flashcards
are geological processes that occur beneath the surface of the earth.
ENDOGENIC PROCESSES
are the forces within the earth that cause the ground to move.
ENDOGENIC FORCES
_ is seen as an energy from the motion of the molecules of bodies, such as earth, that may be transferred by conduction, convection, or radiation.
HEAT
There are three main sources of heat on earth:
1.) Heat from the accretion of Earth during its formation.
2.) Frictional heating, caused by the sinking of core materials to the center of the planet.
3.) Heat from the decay of radioactive elements.
Is the eruption of molten rock called “magma onto Earth’s surface through a vent”.
VOLCANISM
The driving force of volcanism is the plate tectonic motion created by the movement of molten rocks in the mantle cause by _
THERMAL CONVECTION CURRENTS
This change in temperature is called the _
‘geothermal gradient’.
It is a result of the residual heat of primordial Earth.
‘geothermal gradient’.
are the long narrow zones
SUBDUCTION ZONES
The melting caused by decreasing pressure is called ‘
‘pressure-release melting‘.
A _ is a vent in the surface of Earth where magma is expelled during a volcanic eruption.
VOLCANO
is the primary material extruded from a volcano in addition to volcanic
LAVA
=As the plates continue to move due to the convection of Earth’s layers, rocks are continuously exposed to _ .
stress
_ refers to any change in the shape or size of a rock as a response to the stress.
Deformation
occur when they are subjected to tectonic forces from opposite sides.
