Orogenic forces cause deformation of the Earth’s lithosphere and result in the occurrence of several geological processes. This process is called orogeny and can take place over a period of several million years. As a result, mountains get formed from the seabed or plains.


On the other hand, epirogenic forces cause depressions or upheavals of land with long wavelengths and broad ripples. This process is called epirogeny, and the result can be either transient or permanent.
