Answer:

1. Exogenic in general terms means “Originating on or above the surface of the earth; exogenetic.” And Endogenic means “Originating within the earth; endogenous or endogenetic.” ... Similarly, Endogenic Processes are processes that occur beneath the earth's surface. They include Volcanism, Metamorphism, and Earthquakes.

2.Fold mountains are created where two or more of Earth's tectonic plates are pushed together. At these colliding, compressing boundaries, rocks and debris are warped and folded into rocky outcrops, hills, mountains, and entire mountain ranges.

3. The most basic difference is the age of the mountains. A young fold mountain range is generally between 10 and 25 million years old while an old fold mountain range can be over 200 million years old. ... Old fold mountains are usually lower elevation and can appear more like rolling hills such as the Appalachians.

4.Erosional Plains: These are formed due to the agents of degradation. Some of the erosional plains are: Peneplains: These plains are formed due to the wearing and tearing of hills by agents of gradation on a piece of a land. Niagara Plains in the USA and the Lorrain in France are some examples of this type of plains.

Structural plains are undisturbed horizontal surfaces are structurally the most depressed areas of the world. They always border the continents. They are mainly formed by the subsidence or upliftment of a part of the of the continental shelf or sometimes the sea floor.

5.Mountains collect, channel and store freshwater and are essential to the Earth's water cycle. They are also key to regulating the global climate and vital to other ecological cycles of the planet.

6.Plateaus are very useful because it is a storehouse of minerals that are used as raw materials for many industries. It provides us with food materials and raw materials for our industries. The lava plateaus are rich in black soil good for cultivation. many plateaus are great attraction to tourists.

7. Young fold mountains Old fold mountains

They are higher than the old fold mountains. They are lower than the young fold mountains.

Most of the young fold mountains have pointed peaks. These mountains generally do not have pointed peaks due to erosional activities of exogenic forces. They have rounded peaks.

8. They are located in peninsular India because the slips of the peninsular part of India is the plateau region which has steel of gentle slips which furthur provides help or efficiency to the gain in kinetic energy of water and also this region is not much densely populated and so we found many projects there.

9. The Deccan plateau in India has been formed as a result of the accumulation of lava due to the volcanic eruption. The igneous rocks, then formed, got denuded over time resulting in the formation of black soil. Cotton grows best on black soil and also require warm climate.
