GEOMORPHIC PROCESSES

Question 1

exo means “_______”

Answer 1

outside

Question 2

exogenous process is also called _______________

Answer 2

gradational processes

Question 3

they MODIFY relief

Answer 3

exogenous process

Question 4

is disintegration and decomposition of rocks – no transportation involved.

Answer 4

weathering

Question 5

removal of material of the rocks from one place to another at a greater rate than its replacement.

Answer 5

soil erosion

Question 6

endo means “_______”

Answer 6

inside

Question 7

they CREATE relief

Answer 7

endogenous process

Question 8

is the eruption of molten rock from inside the Earth to the surface. volcanism occurs because of Earth’s internal heat, and is associated with tectonic processes and a part of the rock cycle.

Answer 8

volcanism

Question 9

two forces push towards each other from opposite sides.
- the rock layers will bend into folds
- there are large-scale and small-scale folds. Large-scale folds are found mainly along destructive plate properties.

Answer 9

folding

Question 10

FRACTURING and DISPLACEMENT of more brittle rock strata along a fault plane either caused by tension or compression.

Answer 10

faulting

Question 11

due to the movement of plates and local concentrations of geologic heating.

Answer 11

geological hazards

Question 12

understanding these hazards to decrease damages and casualties.

Answer 12

mitigation

Question 13

what place is safe from earthquakes and typhoons in Philippines?

Answer 13

palawan

Question 14

usually INDUCED by earthquakes and greater risk in MANMADE embankments and MOUNTAINOUS areas

Answer 14

landslides

Question 15

Mt. Pinatubo (1991) and 22 historically active volcanoes are examples of this hazard.

Answer 15

volcanic eruptions

Question 16

caused by earthquakes and other seismic activities in bodies of water. Mindoro (1994) — 41 dead

Answer 16

tsunami

Question 17

1. Contributor of particular matter (e.g. volcanic ash) to the atmosphere.
2. Ultimate contributor of salts to the ocean (ions released from weathered rock and minerals).
3. Ultimate source of nutrients for all living things.
4. Important contributor of atmospheric gasses (volcanoes).
5. Movement of plates that serves as barriers in the isolation of the population of organisms (influences evolution).
