orogeny

D1 and D2 correspond to the collisional stage of the Variscan orogeny and are thought to be of Mid-Upper Devonian to Early-Mid-Carboniferous age.

During the Late Miocene and Pliocene, the Alpine Orogeny produced the Zagros and Oman mountains, creating the structural framework seen today.

In the period of Himalayan orogeny, the Permian oil shale cropped out with the uplift of Bogda Mountain due to large-scale thrust faults, which inhibited the organic thermal evolution, a significant structural condition for oil shale formation.

So that this zone has been severely effected by Alpine orogeny and there is Eocene volcanic activities in all its length.

Later, one of the tectonic plates under North America's crust shifted position, building another mountain range-the Laramide Orogeny, or the infant stage of the modern-day Rocky Mountains-furthereast.

Utterly pristine, it seems more the work of some Arctic-besotted Romantic scene painter than the natural result of orogeny and glaciation.

Regional-scale doming, probably related to the Hercynian Orogeny, produced a network of fractures throughout the Alston Block, and these served as pathways for mineralizing solutions driven by heat emanating from the underlying Weardale granite pluton.

Did westward subduction cause Cretaceous-Tertiary orogeny in the North American cordillera?

When yet another orogeny crumples the Maritimes, the spell is broken with pop-up biographies of Canadian heroes of geology or whimsical geologic anecdotes such as "the Queen in camouflage".
