Endogenetic process

Volcanoes are an endogenetic process.

The endogenetic processes are the processes that shape the land by forces coming from within the earth (endogenetic forces).

There are 3 main endogenetic processes: folding, faulting and volcanism. They take place mainly along the plate boundaries, which are the zones that lay on the edges of plates. These zones are weak. Endogenetic processes cause many major landform features.
