Orogeny (/ ɒˈrɒdʒəni /) is a mountain - building process that takes place at a convergent plate margin when plate motion compresses the margin. An orogenic belt or orogen develops as the compressed plate crumples and is uplifted to form one or more mountain ranges. This involves a series of geological processes collectively called orogenesis.

An orogenic belt, orogen, or mobile belt, [a] is a zone of Earth's crust affected by orogeny. [2] An orogenic belt develops when a continental plate crumples and is uplifted to form one or more mountain ranges ; this involves a series of geological processes collectively called orogenesis .

Recent work in orogenic regions around the world conducted by the IGCP 667 project "World Map of Orogens" (François et al., 2021) has demonstrated that most orogenic systems develop from V-shaped...

Oregon, located in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, lies between Washington to the north, California to the south, Idaho to the east, Nevada to the southeast, and its western border is formed by the Pacific Ocean. Salem, situated in the agriculturally rich Willamette Valley, serves as the state capital.
