Solution

Diastrophic forces

Explanation:

Diastrophic forces are the internal forces that originate deep inside the Earth, responsible for large-scale movements of the Earth's crust. These forces include orogenic movements (which form mountains) and epeirogenic movements (which lead to the uplift or subsidence of land). They are slow and gradual forces, unlike exogenic forces, which are driven by external factors like wind, water, or ice.
