Endogenic processes are geological processes that occur beneath Earth's surface and are driven by Earth's internal energy. The main endogenic processes are folding and faulting at tectonic plate boundaries. Folding involves the bending of rock layers under compressional forces, while faulting breaks and displaces rock along fracture planes. Other endogenic processes include volcanism, metamorphism, and earthquakes. Volcanism occurs when magma rises along weaknesses in the crust caused by folding and faulting. Metamorphism transforms rock through heat and pressure, and earthquakes are sudden vibrations released during plate movement. Endogenic processes shape Earth's geology and form important landforms and resources.
