What is Orogeny Mountain Building Processes
1. WHAT IS OROGENY?
Processes of mtn building
Distinctive patterns of deposition
eugeocline, miogeocline
Deformation
Folding and thrust-faulting
Metamorphism
Intrusions: batholiths, etc
Volcanic Activity
2. TYPES OF MOUNTAINS
• Volcanic: Shield and composite
• Fault-block: normal faulting and tension
• Folded: reverse faults and compression
• Complex: mixture of most of the above
12. Alternating normal faults lead to a characteristic pattern called a
Horst and Graben system. An area under tension will often have
Multiple mountain ranges as a result.
13. Basin and range province: tilted fault-block mountains in Nevada.
The results of a horst and graben system. Nevada is under tension
Because of rising magma which is unzipping the system, all the way
From Baja California
Sierra Nevada and Wasatch Ranges part of this system
14. REVERSE FAULTS: Hanging wall moves up relative to footwall
Result of compression: plates colliding
Two types: low-angle or thrust faults, and high-angle reverse faults
Individual layers can move 100’s of kilometers
Alps are a great example
