EARTH AND LIFE SCIENCE REVIEWER (LESSON 5-8)

Prepared By: Ma’am Cham Cutie 

Lesson 5: EXOGENIC PROCESS


Exogenic Process – external process occurs within or near Earth’s surface
Degradation and Aggradation – two types of exogenic process
Weathering is a type of degradation
Weathering - breaking down of rocks into smaller particles.
Two types of Weathering
1. Mechanical Weathering – breaking down of rocks without changing its
composition.
2. Chemical Weathering - there are changes in the composition of rocks due to
chemical reaction.
Seven Factors of Mechanical Weathering
1. Pressure - collision
2. Temperature – expand (heated) contract (cooled)
3. Abrasion - rubbing or scrapping of rocks through friction
4. Frost Wedging - splitting or breaking up of rocks - crack rocks
5. Human Activity - mining
6. Organic Activity - plants
7. Burrowing Animals – animals
Dissolution - rocks or minerals are dissolved by water.
Hydrolysis - breaking down of rocks by acidic water clay and soluble salts.
Oxidation - breaking down of rocks by oxygen in and water.
Erosion - is the separation and removal of weathered rocks due to different agents like water and air.
Mass Wasting – under the influence of gravity.
Deposition - process in which the weathered materials carried out by erosion settle down in particular
location.

Lesson 6: ENDOGENIC PROCESS


Endogenic Process – earth’s internal heat
Heat Energy - one of the extreme factor in what makes the world livable.\
Different indicators and geologic features – mountains, volcanoes, trenches, valleys, ridges, ranges,
earthquake, volcanic eruption
Primordial Heat - internal heat energy accumulated by dissipation in a planet during its first few
million years of evolution.
Accretional Energy – form during the formation of solar system where collision of particles happened.
Kinetic Energy – it only exists when there is movement
Radiogenic Heat – “Elements” – Uranium, Potassium and Titanium once they combined Radiation
released.
Two Process of Heat Transfer
1. Conduction – heat transfer in solid portion of earth
2. Convection – heat exist in fluid, liquid and gas

LESSON 7: MAGMATISM
Magma – molten or semi molten rocks
Magmatism – process where magma form and occur
Magma Chamber – storage location of magma
Main Vent – channel where magma travels
Crater – top of volcano
Asthenosphere – part of upper mantle located below the earth’s crust
Partial Melting – different minerals in rock melt at different temperature and pressure.
THREE CONDITIONS FOR MELTING OF ROCKS TO OCCUR
1. Increase in Temperature – happens in Convergent Boundaries
2. Decrease of Pressure – happen in Mid Ocean Ridge
3. Addition of Volatiles – happen in Subduction Zone
Volatiles – materials or substance with low boiling point
Example: Water and Gas easy to evaporate
When water or carbon dioxide is added to hot rocks, flux melting occurs.

LESSON 8: MOVEMENT OF PLATES


Earth’s Surface is composed of tectonic plates that are constantly moving.
Tectonic Plates experience different types of forces; TENSION and COMPRESSION
Tension – occurs when the plates are pulled apart causing either an elongation or a breakage in a crust.
Volcanic Islands, Mid Ocean Ridge are formed.
Compression - occurs when the plates are pushed toward each other causing them to crash. Mountains,
earthquake are formed/occurred.
Folding - occurs when the Earth’s crust bend away from a flat surface.
ANTICLINE - upward bend
SYNCLINE - downward bend
Faulting - it happens when the Earth’s crust completely breaks and slides past each other. Causes
EARTHQUAKE to occur.
Three Plate Boundaries
1. Convergent Boundaries - two plates move toward each other; oceanic- oceanic, oceanic-
continental. SUBDUCTION - denser sinks over the other. Formation of TRENCHES and
VOLCANOES
2. Divergent Boundaries - two plates move away from each other; MAGMA rises forming new
land. Older rocks are pushed aside Formation of RIDGES
3. Transform Fault - when plates move slide past each other; two plates move/slide in opposite
direction. Formation of FAULTS

Good luck on your final exam, alam kong bebeysikin nyo lang to. Kayang kaya nyo yan,
ngayon pa lang proud na proud na ako sa inyo  Magreview kayo ha. I am hoping na
sana maging subject teacher nyo ulit ako sa second semester.
