Abstract:
Endogenic processes in geology are a function of a body’s internal geodynamic activity.They comprise volcanic, tectonic, and isostatic processes, which shaped the surfaces of all terrestrial planets, the Moon, and basically all other Solar System bodies with solid surfaces that have been observed in some detail.The most recent spacecraft observations have confirmed this notion, and revealed past or present endogenic activity even on bodies where this was not previously expected.The study of endogenic processes and their resulting landforms and landscapes puts important constraints on the internal evolution and the surface history of a geologic body.
