We've discovered that a meteorite struck northwest Scotland 1 billion years ago, 200 million years later than previously thought. Our results are published today in the journal Geology. This ...

Lead scientists say this discovery forces a rethink of how the Indian Plate has shaped—and continues to shape—the Himalayan orogeny. It also has implications for understanding earthquake risks and ...

It turns out that the India-Asia collisional orogeny was short-lived in the Early Cenozoic without significant underthrusting of the Indian continent beneath the Tibet hinterland, and that the ...

As a result of this “amazing orogeny” in the early Pliocene Epoch and another linkage with New Guinea’s Central Highlands, a number of species that had previously been confined elsewhere ...

The Cimmerian orogeny, as this mountain-building moment is called, has created a natural barrier fortress along the southern margin of what is now Earth’s largest continent, Eurasia, dividing ...

The long-lived Grenvillian orogeny involved continent-continent collision at a scale that rivals the Alpine-Himalayan mountain belt. Connecting these seemingly disparate but significant tectonic ...

Experts say that the mountains were formed some 55 to 80 million years ago. Its creation is said to have occurred during the Laramide orogeny. The mountains start from northern Alberta and British ...

Orogeny occurs at convergent plate margins as compressed plates crumple upward, resulting in mountain ranges and associated geological features. Researching the formation of this massive plateau ...
