High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Orogeny refers to forces and events leading to a particular type of long-term severe structural deformation of the earth's crust, namely, long arcuate tracts of highly deformed rock called orogens or orogenic belts. Orogens develop while a continental plate is crumpled and thickened to form mountain ranges, involving a great range of geological processes collectively called orogenesis. The word "orogeny" comes from the Greek (oros for "mountain" plus genesis for "birth" or "origin"). In contrast, continent building, earth movements resulting in upheaval without severe folding, is called epeirogenesis (after the Greek epeiros, land or continent)
