2. Endogenic processes are geological
processes that occur beneath the earth
surface.
It is associated with energy originating in
the interior of the earth.
The forces within the earth that cause the
ground to move are called Endogenic
forces.

4. Folding and Faulting
Tectonic Movements
Volcanism
They take place mainly along the plate
boundaries.
These processes cause many major
landform features

5. When two force push towards each other
from the opposite sides, the rock layer will
bend into folds.
The process by which folds are formed
due to compressional forces known as
folding.
There are large-scale and small scale
folds.

8. Faulting is the fracturing and displacement
of more brittle rock strata along a fault
plane either caused by tension or
compression.
A break in rock along which a vertical or
horizontal rock movement has occurred is
called a fault .
The line of fault which appears on land
surface is known as fault line

9. These lines are often lines of weakness
which allow molten rock to rise up onto the
earth surface when there is active volcanic
activity nearby.

10. There are three types of fault which are
caused by different endogenic forces :
 Normal fault (convergence)
 Reverse fault (divergence)
 tear fault (transform)

14.  These are endogenic processes that are
subsequent to the main ones,
 Metamorphism
 Earthquake
 volcanism
