Which of the following statements best distinguishes endogenic from exogenic processes?

• Endogenic processes shape the earth's surface from the inside, while exogenic processes shape it from the outside.

• Exogenic processes are caused by internal heat, while endogenic processes are caused by solar energy.

• Endogenic processes only occur in the ocean, while exogenic processes occur on land.

• Both processes are influenced by human activities equally.
