💡 Explanation:
Fold Mountains are primarily formed by endogenic forces, specifically the compressive stresses resulting from the collision of tectonic plates, which leads to the uplift and folding of the Earth's crust. In contrast, Floodplains (by river deposition), Moraines (by glacial deposition), and Canyons (by river erosion) are all landforms created primarily by exogenic geomorphic processes (weathering, erosion, and deposition) driven by external energy sources like solar radiation and gravity.
