1. Mineralogic phenomena
2. Lithologic phenomena
   1. Rock types
      1. Igneous rock
         • Igneous formation processes
      2. Sedimentary rock
         • Sedimentary formation processes (sedimentation)
         • Quicksand
      3. Metamorphic
3. Endogenic phenomena

      2. Earthquake
      3. Oceanic trench
   2. Phenomena associated with igneous activity
      1. Geysers and hot springs
      2. Bradyseism
      3. Volcanic eruption
   3. Earth's magnetic field
4. Exogenic phenomena
   1. Slope phenomena
      1. Slump
      2. Landslide
   2. Weathering phenomena
