The answer is - orogen forms.
Orogeny is the event that leads to a large structural deformation of the Earth's lithosphere, where the crust is affected and also the upper most part of the mantle layer, and this is as a result of the interaction of the plate tectonics. An orogenic belt develops when a continental plate crumples and is pushed upwards to form one or more mountain ranges.
