Lithospheric buoyancy and collisionalorogenesis: subduction of oceanic plateaus, continental margins, island arcs, spreading ridges, and seamounts.
From theCambridge English Corpus
This trust is possibly compromised by his obvious desire, throughout the volume, to promote his all-encompassing archipelago model oforogenesis.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Considering the variety of tectonic settings and the ambiguity of the role oforogenesis, considerable care should be taken in the interpretation of the controls of such magmatism.
