What do volcanism and mountain building receive energy from earths interior?

Volcanism is mountain building resulting primarily from heat. The uplift comes because heat from inside the earth heats the overlying lithosphere, causing it to expand, lifting and swelling the surface upward. Often associated with this are volcanoes that accumulate even higher on top of the swollen earth. These processes include hot spot and subduction volcanoes. . Subduction volcanoes are generated along subduction zones at convergent plate boundaries; they are cordilleran mountains.
Second, is mechanical mountain building; that is, tension (pulling apart) and compression (squeezing together). The relief (differences in elevation) come primarily because different blocks of earth move relative to each other, either falling or rising vertically, or one block being shoved (thrust) horizontally over another.
