caption_attribution_description: English: Map of world geologic provinces &#160; Shield &#160; Platform &#160; Phanerozoic orogen &#160; Foreland or intracratonic Basin &#160; Large igneous province &#160; Extended continental crust Age of Oceanic crust: &#160; 0–20 Ma &#160; 20–65 Ma &#160; &gt;65 Ma Important note: These geologic province map renders only features approximately 150 km across and greater due to the fact that the resolution of the maps should be consistent with the resolution of the seismic refraction data. For example, the young uplifted blocks of the Variscan Orogen in Central and Western Europe such as the Rhenish Massif or the Massif Central are not depicted as ‘orogens’ but as part of the ‘extended continental crust’ in the western half of Europe. Deutsch: Karte der geologischen Provinzen der Erde. &#160; Präkambrische Schilde &#160; Kontinentale Plattformen &#160; Phanerozoische Orogene &#160; Vorland- oder „intrakratonisches“ Becken &#160; Magmatische Großprovinzen &#160; Gedehnte kontinentale Kruste Alter der ozeanischen Kruste: &#160; 0–20 Ma &#160; 20–65 Ma &#160; &gt;65 Ma Hinweis: Diese Karte führt nur Einheiten, deren Ausbissfläche einen Durchmesser von mindestens 150 km besitzt. Beispielsweise sind die jung herausgehobenen Schollen des Variszischen Orogens in Mittel- und Westeuropa, wie z.B. die Rheinische Masse oder das französische Zentralmassiv, nicht als „phanerozoische Orogene“, sondern als Teil der „gedehnten kontinentalen Kruste“ in der Westhälfte Europas dargestellt.

context_page_description: The following is a list of known orogenies organised by continent, starting with the oldest at the top. The organization of this article is along present-day continents that do not necessarily reflect the geography contemporary to the orogenies. Note that some orogenies encompass more than one continent and might have different names in each continent. Likewise some very large orogenies include a number of sub-orogenies. As with other geological phenomena orogenies are often subject to different and changing interpretations regarding to their age, type and associated paleogeography.
