Question

Difference between orogenic and epirogenic movement

Answer 1

Eperiogenic movement is strictly vertical movement of continent and it acts along the radius of the earth . So it is also known as radial movements of the earth. In experiogenic movements,tectonic deformation of the earth’s crust forms continents and ocean basins. Due to this process ,sea level rise and fall as new plate materials modified the open basins.

While Orogenic movement is horizontal movements of plates or it is also known as the mountain forming movements act tangentially to the earth surface,as in plate tectonics. In orogenic process,plate tectonic and volcanic form mountains . Due to this process ,the crust is severely deformed into folds.

Answer 2

answer - The difference between orogenic and epirogenic movement is atttached.
