ON THE CONCEPT OF DIWA-TYPE OROGENY

The review of orogeny in the paper illustrates the differences between tectonic and mor-phogenic definitions,of which most geologists so far accept the former. Orogeny stands for mobilestages in the evolution of the crust. The author defines the diwa-type Orogeny in the frame of diwatheory as an assemblage of all geological processes during post-platformal tectonomagmatism, andthen divides it by the form and dynamics of crustobody into hybrid three subtypes: divergent, con-vergent and hybrid types.
