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.

  Active through Triassic and Jurassic Periods along south and southeast Asia.

  The Himalayan orogeny, forming the Himalaya Mountains, as a result of the ongoing collision of the Indian Plate with the Eurasian Plate.
  The Dabie-Sulu orogeny (Mesozoic)
  Uralian orogeny – the long series of linear deformation and mountain building events that raised the Ural Mountains Formation of the Ural Mountains, Eurasia, during the Permian Period.
