11. Sandstone is converted into quartzite through heating and pressure usually related to orogenic belts . 12. The advent of plate tectonics has explained the vast majority of orogenic belts and their features. 13. It includes a number of different blocks of the Archean basement, separated by orogenic belts . 14. The third kind of orogenic belt is a confined orogenic belt which is the closure of small basins. 15. The third kind of orogenic belt is a confined orogenic belt which is the closure of small basins. 16. Meanwhile, West Antarctica is an orogenic belt composed of several smaller units, which converged 100 ma. 17. Generally, orogenic belts consist of long parallel strips of crust, produce volcanoes, and build island arcs. 18. The orogenic belts present on continental blocks are classified into three different categories and have implications of interpreting geologic bodies. 19. However, the Trujillo-Cooper Canyon sequence s sediments are derived from the Ouachita orogenic belts of the Marathon Uplift. 20. His studies extended into the geometry of the orogenic belts of East Africa and the volcanism that produced the Rift System.
