Solution

The internal processes taking place in the interior of the earth:

  1. Internal processes arise from the Earth's interior sun, which are most visible in the movement of the lithospheric plate.
  2. Internal processes such as volcanoes and earthquakes are examples triggered by disturbances in the earth's crust.

Volcanic eruption:

  1. A volcanic eruption is when lava and gas are released from a volcano—sometimes explosively.
  2. Volcanoes eruption occurs as a result of pressure and density.
  3. The magma rises due to its lower density compared to the surrounding rocks i.e air bubbles in syrup.
  4. The magma's density and the weight of the rocks above it will decide whether it rises to the surface or to a depth.

Earthquake:

  1. An earthquake is an intense shaking of the Earth's surface caused by movements in the Earth's outermost layer.
  2. When two blocks of the earth slide past one another, it results in the occurrence of an earthquake.
  3. When seismic waves travel across the world, they tend to shake the land and everything on it, whereas when they hit the earth's surface, they shake the ground and anything on it.

Thus, the internal processes which take place in the interior of the earth include Volcanic eruptions and Earthquakes.
