Endogenic and Exogenic Processes
It is important to understand that the rocks transform into other types of rocks through time
and different geologic processes. The stones that you see when you walk along the beach, or the
birthstones you see in the malls , may have been part of a rock situated in the mountains or even under
the sea many thousands of years ago.
Rex Curriculum Resource WWW.REX.COM.PH
The rock cycle in illustration below shows how rocks change from one type to
another.
Igneous rocks are formed when hot magma from the interior of
Earth near active tectonic plate boundaries or hot spots rises upward, is
expelled through craters of volcanoes, and finally crystallizes and
solidifies. Magma is called lava when it reaches Earths surface. It cools
down and hardens into an extrusive igneous rock. The magma beneath
the crust may also harden and solidify to form intrusive igneous rocks.
Endogenic and Exogenic Processes
Rex Curriculum Resource WWW.REX.COM.PH
Weathering wears away exposed rock surfaces by breaking them down into loose sediments.
Once broken down, these tiny bits of rock are transported to another place through erosion. Water,
temperature, plants, and animals are some commonly known agents of weathering.
Erosion involves the movement or transport of weathered rock particles by natural forces , such
as wind, water, and gravity. The weathered and eroded particles or sediments get deposited in lakes and
ocean basins and undergo compaction and cementation. Sedimentary rocks are formed through these
processes.
Weathering and erosion are two processes that also power the rock
cycle
Endogenic and Exogenic Processes
Rex Curriculum Resource WWW.REX.COM.PH
Another process that significantly powers the rock cycle is metamorphism. This process
transforms old rocks into new forms when exposed to extreme temperature and pressure, hot mineral-rich
fluids, or some combination of these factors. The conditions that allow these metamorphic processes are
only found deep in Earths interior or on tectonic plate boundaries. Metamorphism does not melt the
rocks. It transforms the rocks into denser and more compact materials. This also produces new minerals
and , thus, creates new rock types. Pressure and temperature can even change previously metamorphosed
rocks into new rock types.
The rock cycle shows the continuous occurrence of geologic processes that can be either
endogenic or exogenic through time.
Endogenic and Exogenic Processes
Rex Curriculum Resource WWW.REX.COM.PH
Endogenic processes are those that take place beneath the crust or in the interior of Earth. These
processes are driven by the thermal energy of the mantle. An example is volcanism, which plays a big role
in the rock cycle. Volcanism is the process where molten magma from beneath the crust reaches the
surface One of the most recent examples of volcanism is the eruption of the Taal Volcano that affected
nearby provinces. Other examples of endogenic processes are folding, faulting, and seafloor spreading.

Rex Curriculum Resource WWW.REX.COM.PH
Exogenic are those that occur on or near the surface of the Earth, which may be driven by
gravity, wind, water, and human activities. Weathering and erosion are major examples of exogenic
processes and also form a big part of the rock cycle
Weathering and Erosion
These geologic processes do not just convert rocks from one type to another, but they continue
to shape Earths crust too.
