Pasadena orogeny and Ventura Basin are consequences of the Pasadena orogeny. The city of Long Beach, California lies within the affected region. Pasadena orogeny Pasadena orogeny is a mountain building event. Conventionally it refers to the formation of mountains in mainly Southern California during the Pleistocene and lasting until the present day; originally it referred to the uplift of the San Gabriel Mountains. The Pasadena orogeny is a major Late Quaternary-modern event of mountain formation, which took place in the middle or perhaps late Pleistocene or to the present-day. It is also known as the "Coast Ranges orogeny" or considered to be
Damara orogeny Ma and 545–530 Ma Gariep Belt (Kalahari Craton, now in southern Africa). The Damara orogeny saw a peak in deformation and metamorphism at 530–500 Ma. Thrusting occurred onto the Kalahari Craton until 480 Ma. Río de la Plata docked to Congo before the closure of the Damara Belt oceans (Mozambique and Khomas) which made the Damara orogeny part of the Kuunga orogeny which stretched from Antarctica to India across Africa. All African cratons had been assembled by 550 Ma and the last stages of the Damara–Kuunga Orogeny (the final amalgamation of north and South Gondwana) were intra-cratonic. The Damara orogeny
