Slow Movements (Diastrophism)
The following are the subtopics of Slow Movements (Diastrophism): Orogeny Epeirogeny Isostasy Tectonism Volcanism Earthquakes Mountain building Rifting Plate tectonics Continental drift Seafloor spreading Subduction Accretion Collision Orogeny is the process of mountain building. It is caused by the collision of tectonic plates. Epeirogeny is the process of uplift or subsidence of large areas of … Read more
Endogenic Processes
Endogenic Processes are processes that originate within the Earth. They include: Plate tectonics Mountain building Earthquakes VolcanoesVolcanoes Magma intrusions Metamorphism Hydrothermal activity Endogenic processes are responsible for the formation and evolution of the Earth’s surface. They are also responsible for the distribution of Natural Resources, such as oil, gas, and minerals. Endogenic processes are processes … Read more
