Uralian orogeny Ufa) the Ural mountains have a eastward-convex bend. It has been proposed that the Precambrian Middle-Uralian Ring Structure caused a disturbance in the orogeny leading to the formation the bend. Uralian orogeny The Uralian orogeny refers to the long series of linear deformation and mountain building events that raised the Ural Mountains, starting in the Late Carboniferous and Permian periods of the Palaeozoic Era, c. 323–299 and 299–251 Mya respectively, and ending with the last series of continental collisions in Triassic to early Jurassic times. In terms of plate tectonics, the Uralian orogeny resulted from a southwestern movement of the
Malagasy orogeny Madagascar as the boundary between the African and India terranes. Malagasy orogeny Malagasy orogeny is the name given to the Ediacaran to Cambrian orogeny that resulted as India collided with the already amalgamated African continent that consisted of Azania and the Congo-Tanzania-Bangweulu Block. The orogeny affected the parts of the East African Orogen that are now found in southern India, Madagascar and central Arabia. The term "Malagasy orogeny" was introduced by for the orogenisis between India and a series of Gondwanan cratonic blocks in present-day Africa (Congo/Tanzania/Bangweulu/Azania). In their reconstruction, India collided with Australia/Mawson in the Kuunga orogeny before the
