Examples of geological phenomena are:

* Mineralogic phenomena
* Lithologic phenomena
   * Rock types
      * Igneous rock
         * Igneous formation processes
      * Sedimentary rock
         * Sedimentary formation processes (sedimentation)
         * Quicksand
      * Metamorphic rock
* Endogenic phenomena
   * Plate tectonics
      * Continental drift
      * Earthquake
      * Oceanic trench
   * Phenomena associated with igneous activity
      * Geysers and hot springs
      * Bradyseism
      * Volcanic eruption
   * Earth's magnetic field
* Exogenic phenomena
   * Slope phenomena
      * Slump
      * Landslide
   * Weathering phenomena
      * Erosion
   * Glacial and peri-glacial phenomena
      * Glaciation
      * Moraines
      * Hanging valleys
   * Atmospheric phenomena
