orogenic belt
orogenic belt (mobile belt) A linear or arcuate zone, on a regional scale, which has undergone compressional tectonics. The histories of many orogenic belts have been interpreted using
platetectonics models involving the
subduction of oceanic
lithosphere (e.g. the
Andean orogenic belt), the collision of major continental masses (e.g. the
Himalayan orogenic belt), or the accretion of
terranes (e.g. the Cordillera of the western USA and Canada). Orogenic belts were formerly expected to show the phases of the
orogenic cycle, but this has now been replaced by a search for identifiable stages of the
Wilson cycle to see if the belt can be interpreted using a plate-tectonics model.
