👉 Orogenesis is a geological process that occurs when magma rises from the Earth's crust and solidifies into igneous rocks, such as granite. This process can occur in a variety of environments, including on the surface of the Earth, at the base of mountains, or beneath the ocean floor. The term "orogeny" comes from the Greek word "orgon," meaning earth, which is often used to describe the geological transition between different types of igneous rocks.
