Endogenic Process Flashcards
Found beneath the surface of the earth, evidence of magmatism has also been discovered on other terrestrial plane is and some natural satellites.
Magma
Takes place within earth when a body of rock is held at approximately the same temperature but the pressure is reduced. This happens because the rock is being moved towards the surface, either at a mantle plume or in the upwelling part of a mantle convection cell.
Decompression Melting
Happens if a rock is clone to its melting point and some water or carbon dioxide is added to the rock, the melting temperature is reduced and partial melting
Flux melting
Magma does not get out
Intrusion
An eruption of materials that causes the volcano to grow on the outside
Extrusion
Activities correlated with the flow of igneous material from the planet’s interior towards the natural terrestrial surface
Volcanism
Igneous rock formations that are created when the process of crystalization of magma.
Plutonites
Molten material in the form of lava occuring in the natural terrestrial surface
