volcanism. • The most obvious evidence of diastrophic movement can be seen where sedimentary rocks have been bent‚ broken or tilted. Types of Earth Movement: a. Uplift • Is the movement of the Earth wherein the crust rises. • Process in which structural highs in Earth’s crust are created (e.g. mountains). • The movement of tectonic plates and igneous plumes are two processes which may result in uplift. b. Subsidence • A sinking or setting of part of the Earth’s crust with respect to the surrounding
