Endogenic Processes Flashcards
Plutonism and Volcanism
A geological process that was formed, originated, and located below the surface of the Earth.
Endogenic Processes
- Tectonic movements
- Metamorphism
- Magmatism
It forms from “Partial melting” of mantle rocks. As temperature rises (600-1000°C), some minerals melt and others remain solid
Magma
What are the 2 Mechanisms through which rocks melt?
- Decompression Melting
- Flux Melting
Enumerate (2)
What happens after magma is formed?
- Intrusion
- Extrusion
Magma that moves
up into a volcano without erupting.
Intrusion
Happens after magma is formed
Eruptions of magmatic material that cause land formation on the surface of the Earth.
Extrusion
Happens after magma is formed
Refers to all sorts of igneous geological activities taking place below the Earth’s surface.
Plutonism
They are purified plycarbonate/ Rocks that come from plutonism are called what?
Plutonites
Used to describe all geological phenomena that occur on the natural terrestrial surface, such as the eruption of volcanoes and creation of hot springs.
Volcanism
Rocks that come from volcanism are called what?
Volcanites
