Endogenic Processes (Byron)

The document discusses endogenic processes, which are geological processes occurring within the Earth like tectonic movement, magmatism, metamorphism, and seismic activity. It explains different types of stress that cause deformation of the Earth's crust and outlines the layer structure of the Earth. Key concepts covered include igneous rock formation from magma, sedimentary rocks forming from mineral deposits, and metamorphic rocks transforming under pressure and heat.

“ENDOGENIC PROCESSES” “3 Kinds of Differential Stress”


Tensional Stress – stress which stretches rock.
It is process have been responsible of shaping Compressional Stress – stress which squeezes
the earth relief and the formation of many of the rock.
most important mineral resources Shear stress – stress which results in slippage
and translation.
It is also relating to metamorphism taking with a
planet and moon. Include the tectonic  Layers of the Earth

solidification of magma.

- Stress where in all the forces act equally Magma – molten rock material within the earth
from all directions. from which an igneous rocks result by cooling.
- Occurs when stress acting on the work is
not equal in all directions. 2 Main Categories
- (Uniform Stress & Differential Stress)  Plytonic/Intrusive Rock Igneous Rock
 Results when magma
solidifies before reading the
surface.
 Volcano or Extrusive Igneous Rock
 Results when the magma
flows out over the surface
then solidifies.

 Sedimentary – are from underwater
deposits of minerals such as clay,
gravel, pebbles and sand. They are
arranged in layers and often contain
fossil remains.
 Metamorphism – are sedimentary or
igneous rocks that have been
transformed by pressure, heat or the
intrusion of fluids.
