Landform Processes
• Endogenic (endogenous)– Internal forces beneath or at Earth’s surface
• Mountain building (diastrophism) • Earthquakes• Volcanism
• Exogenic (exogenous)– External forces
• Weathering – physical (mechanical) & chemical• Erosion by moving water, air, or ice

Endogenous (endogenic) – Exogenous (exogenic)
• Forces from Inside the earth
• Forces from outside the earth

Endogenic Forces
• Plate Tectonics• Volcanism• Seismic action
![Page 7: INTERNAL LANDFORM PROCESSES 2 Geologic Time – in 24 hours Humans have been around for ½ of one minute on this scale](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649eb25503460f94bb84ec/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Plate Tectonics
• Fixed Earth Theory– Continents and oceans fixed in place
• Pangaea Hypothesis– Supercontinent – Alfred Wegener, 1900s
• 1960s = Plate Tectonics Theory

Understanding Geological Activity Spanning Geologic Time• Continental Drift
– Alfred Wegener, etc.
– International Geophysical Year research

Process of Continental Drift
• Appears to be generated by heat-sustained convection cells in the interior (particularly the asthenosphere which is not solid)
• Movement occurs where plate boundaries abut– Divergence – spreading along mid-ocean ridges which lie above
and upwelling in the cell– Convergence (subduction) – colliding plates over the downward
portion of a convection cell– Ring of Fire – largely an area of subduction

Extent of Seismic Wave Transmission
• Due to differences in the nature of the bedrock in those areas
• New Madrid amplifies more than San Andreas
![Page 20: INTERNAL LANDFORM PROCESSES 2 Geologic Time – in 24 hours Humans have been around for ½ of one minute on this scale](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649eb25503460f94bb84ec/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Richter Scale
• An increase in one whole number signifies an earthquake 10 times greater power and a decrease in one number signifies an earthquake of 1/10th the power
• An increase in two whole numbers signifies an earthquake of 100 times greater power, etc.
• Compared to a 5.6 quake, one of 6.6 is 10 times more powerful and one of 7.6 is 100 times more powerful and one of 8.6 is 1000 times more powerful.

Stages of development: (1) formation over hot spot (2) moved past the hotspot & inactive (3) being eroded by the action of the sea.
