AI overview
Orogeny is the geological process that builds mountains, typically through the collision and deformation of Earth's crustal plates over millions of years. Understanding orogeny matters because it shapes the landscape we live on and helps explain the distribution of mountains, mineral resources, and geological hazards across our planet.
