PROCESSES THAT HAPPEN BENEATH THE EARTH

Endogenous Processes

Endogenous Processes

All these processes give shape to the surface of the Earth and may result to the varied features and landforms.

DIFFERENT LANDFORMS OF THE EARTH

Category: Size

Magnitude

Relief Features

Major types of

Landforms: Plains

Mountains

Plateaus

Hills

LANDFORMS OF THE EARTH

FIRST ORDER OF RELIEF

are those that are BIG and VAST like

continents and ocean basins.

SECOND ORDER OF RELIEF

are those found on

the continents and

ocean basins.

Volcanoes

Mountains

Plains

Mountain systems found on the continents.

Continental Mountain Systems

Mountain systems found under the oceans.

Oceanic Mountain Systems

THIRD ORDER OF RELIEF• Are those that have been formed by the

different exogenous processes.

THIRD ORDER OF RELIEF

Most detailed order of relief.

Left-overs

When the second order of relief landforms are

subjected to the forces to give rise to the third

order of relief landforms.
