Topics in Endogenous Processes and Associated Landforms

1

Endogenetic Forces: Introduction and Importance

  • Endogenetic forces originate from inside the Earth's interior
  • Responsible for creating mountains, plateaus, and plains
  • Cause earthquakes and volcanic activity
2

Diastrophism: Vertical and Horizontal Forces

  • Diastrophism has two main types: Epeirogenetic (vertical) and Orogenetic (horizontal) forces
  • Epeirogenetic forces create vertical movements - uplift (rise) and subsidence (sink)
  • These vertical movements don't disturb horizontal arrangement of rock strata much
3

Folding: Process and Types

  • Folding is bending of horizontal layers of rocks caused by compression
  • Occurs when two horizontal forces act toward common point from opposite directions
  • Rock layers are thrown into simple upfolds and downfolds like water waves
4

Faulting: Process and Types

  • Faulting occurs when tension forces exceed rock strength, causing crust to break
  • Blocks on either side of fault move relative to each other
  • Fault plane is the surface along which fracture/movement occurs
