Endogenetic Movements
Endogenetic movements are internal Earth processes like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, driven by forces originating within Earth's inte
Core concept
Endogenetic movements originate from within Earth, driven by heat and pressure in the mantle and core, causing changes to Earth's surface.
How it works
Diastrophic movements involve slow, gradual deformation of Earth's crust, forming mountains, plateaus, and other large-scale landforms.
Why it matters
Sudden movements, like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, release built-up energy quickly, causing rapid changes to the landscape.
Key detail
These internal forces continuously shape Earth's surface, working alongside external forces to create the diverse landscapes we see today.
