Answer : 1. "Only A and B"
Explanation :
The forces that act in the interior of the earth are called endogenic forces. The horizontal and vertical movements caused by the forces coming from the interior of the earth are known as endogenic forces. The origin of the endogenic force is caused by the contraction and expansion of rocks due to variation in thermal conditions and temperature inside the earth. Movements caused by internal or endogenetic forces affecting the earth's crust are known as Earth Movements. Earth movements are also called tectonic movements as they help in building the relief features on earth's crust through subsequently or simultaneously undergoing changes.
