What to Focus On
- Earth movements are also called tectonic movements.
- Endogenic forces originate from within the Earth.
- Exogenic forces act on or above the Earth's surface.
- Diastrophic movements are slow and long-term.
- Epeirogenic movements cause uplift or subsidence.
- Orogenic movements cause folding and faulting, leading to mountain formation.
- Earthquakes are caused by the release of stress along faults.
- Focus is the origin point; epicenter is on the surface above it.
- Effects include shaking, landslides, tsunamis, and infrastructure damage.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Earthquakes happen because the Earth is cracking open randomly due to heat and pressure.
Volcanoes only erupt explosively and always form tall cones.
Weathering and erosion are the same thing.
Memory Tips
Two types of Earth movements: Endogenic and Exogenic
Diastrophic movements: Epeirogenic and Orogenic
Types of folds: Symmetrical, Asymmetrical, Overfold, Recumbent, Overthrust
Types of faults: Normal, Reverse, Strike-slip, Oblique
