Rocks in orogenic belts like the Alps can undergo a variety of deformations including folding, faulting, and thrusting due to tectonic forces. These deformations result from the compression and collision of tectonic plates, leading to the development of mountain ranges. Additionally, rocks may also experience metamorphism due to increased temperature and pressure from deep burial during the orogeny.
