Endogenic forces:
The forces coming from within the earth and causing horizontal and vertical movements are called as endogenic forces (A.K.A. endogenetic forces). [Refer to Geophysics for detailed explanations.] It is these movements which lead to land upliftment and subsidence, folding and faulting, earthquakes and volcanism, etc. Endogenic movements are responsible for giving birth to major relief features such as mountains, plateaus, plains, valleys, etc. These movements fall into two major categories, on the basis of the intensity.
Exogenic forces:
Exogenic (A.K.A. exogenetic) refers to external processes and phenomena that occur on or above the surface of the earth. Comet and meteoroid impacts, the tidal force of the moon and the radiation from the sun are all exogenic. Weathering effects and erosion are also exogenic processes.

Answer:
answer below
Explanation:
endogenic
when the continental plates move apart they are called divergent plates this results in the formation of rift valleys. sometimes magma pours out of the rift forming volcanic moutains. mount Kilimanjaro was formed as a result of rifting
exogenic
erosional and depositional activities caused by the external forces like rivers glaciers ice wind etc are continually engaged in carving out forming relief features on the earth surface
thanks
