orogeny Explanation: Have no idea what "Tardyhecínica" refers to. Could be a geological period or place name. Anyway, orogeny is the variety of processes that occur during mountain-building, including deposition, deformation, metamorphisms, intrusions, volcaniv activity, oceanic trenches, etc. Reference: http://gsa.confex.com/gsa/2001ESP/finalprogram/abstract_7909...

Late Herzynian orogeny. Explanation: Takes a stretch of the imagination. Sounds like a dictation badly taken down in which someone said "orogenia hercínica tardía" and another person's neurons blew up. Not too wild guess |

tardihercinic orogeny / orogeny of the late Hercinic Explanation: El ciclo hercínico es el que abarca los periodos pérmico, carbonífero y devónico de la era paleozoica o primaria. Está mal escrito, puesto que sería "tardihercínico" o "tardehercínico" y no "tardyhecínico", es decir, del periodo tardío del ciclo hercínico (of the late Hercinic or tardihercinic). Orogenia es lo mismo que orogénesis (orogeny, orogenesis, mountain building, orogenetic movements [EURODICAUTOM]) Consulta la referencia posterior para ver la división cronológica de la historia de la Tierra.

Late Hercynian orogeny Explanation: probably found it...see link below (quote): To the north, the east-west trending Telemzane Arch experienced relatively mild and periodic uplift, especially during the Mid and Late Hercynian orogeny and was subsequently affected by a strong erosion of Paleozoic series. To the east-southeast, the Jeffara Basin, which originated as part of the Paleozoic sag basin, was initiated as a separate entity during the Carboniferous, possibly as a dextral pull-apart basin. It is a zone of pronounced subsidence but with periodic uplift especially during the Permian, the Late Triassic, the Late Jurassic and the Mid-Late Cretaceous. In particular the whole area was uplifted and eroded during the Latest Cretaceous orogeny. Reference: http://www.petroleumx.com/intlopps/countries/tunisia/geology... |
