Significats de orogenesis en anglès

This may explain the enigmatic delay of the Andean orogeny, that is, the formation of the modern Andes.

Another mountain-building event, called the Alice Springs Orogeny, happened about 400 million years ago and played a role in Uluru's formation.

Some scientists believe the Appalachians experienced a fourth, earlier mountain-building episode, called the Grenville Orogeny, and that there may have been others earlier still.

The Appalachians were formed in three long phases (or orogenies, as geologists like to call them) known as the Taconic, Acadian, and Alleghenian.
