These fractures will play a decisive role during the further development of the orogen.

The central and east parts of the Orogen are aligned in a north south direction.

The Alps were and still are the best investigated orogen worldwide.

The resulting orogen would be a modified continental margin type.

Other faults separate the different terranes making up the orogen.

The suture is often represented on the surface by an orogen or mountain range.

The temperature underneath the orogen is much higher and weakens the lithosphere.

To the south it is bounded by the Variscan Orogen.

The orogen is of the accretionary or 'Turkic' type.

"Tectonic map and overall architecture of the Alpine orogen".

The flexural tilting of the basin and the sediment supply from the orogen.

The Andes constitute by far the most spectacular present-day example of a continental-margin orogen.

After the orogen, limestone marl and calcareous sandstone were added.

Sedimentation in the basin buried the earlier Antler orogen.

With the gradual cooling of the Variscan orogen the ductile movements came to an end.

Estimates of the overall shortening across the Pyrenean orogen are mostly between 100 and 150 km.

By the evolution of the Pyrenean orogen.

Acadian deformation and metamorphism were asymmetric across the strike of the orogen.

The foredeep is the thickest sedimentary zone and thickens toward the orogen.

Frequently, natural gas is found closer to the orogen and oil is found further away (Oliver 1986).

Sites such as the Wopmay Orogen provide evidence for early and ongoing plate tectonics.

The Appalachian mountains contain small, isolated exposures of the Grenville orogen.

In addition to orogeny, the orogen once formed is subject to other processes, such as sedimentation and erosion.

After the thrusting the orogen was exhumed diachronously.

It forms the polymetamorphic core region of the Variscan orogen in Europe.
