👉 In geology and astrophysics, an orogeny is a process by which rocks on Earth's surface are forced to move relative to one another. This movement can be caused by various factors such as plate tectonics, volcanic activity, or internal deformation. Orogenies typically occur in the crust beneath a magma volcano, where the top of the volcano is elevated above the surrounding rock layers. As the magma rises towards the surface, it cools and solidifies at the base of
