What Does POG Stand For?
POG stands for Post Orogenic Granitoids
Post Orogenic Granitoids (POG) refer to a category of granitic rocks that are formed in the geological period following orogenic events, which are periods of mountain building due to tectonic forces. These granitoids typically crystallize from magma that intrudes into pre-existing rock sequences after the peak of tectonic activity has subsided. POGs are significant for understanding the thermal and chemical evolution of the continental crust, as well as for their implications in mineral exploration and the study of crustal development.
