Geology

The term craton has been used for many years for the broad central parts of continents that are affected only by epeirogenic movements.
Example sentencesExamples
- In common with other work on the western UK basins system, igneous underplating is invoked as the principal mechanism driving the epeirogenic uplift.
- Preservation of these large-scale coastal landforms is primarily due to gentle epeirogenic uplift in response to Quaternary volcanism.
- Regional scale epeirogenic uplift has removed the barriers from the influence of subsequent sea level highstands and therefore largely preserved their original form.
- They recognized the importance of such underplating in thickening the crust to cause epeirogenic uplift.

Origin

Late 19th century: from Greek ēpeiros 'mainland' + -geny.
