It is customary to contrast orogenic movements, revealed by true deformation, with epeirogenic movements, which imply a vertical displacement of an entire land mass. The latter should, in turn, be distinguished from eustatic movements, resulting from changes in sea level. 4, record 4, English, - epeirogenic%20movement

Les mouvements épirogéniques apparaissent ainsi comme étant périodiques, résultant d’enfoncements et de soulèvements répétés. Il faut reconnaître que ce sont les phases d’enfoncement qui paraissent les plus nettes car ce sont celles durant lesquelles les sédiments s’accumulent avec le plus de développement. 3, record 4, French, - mouvement%20%C3%A9pirog%C3%A9nique

Les mouvements tectoniques [...] sont de deux types [...] : les mouvements orogéniques [...] qui donnent naissance à des chaînes de montagnes [...]; les mouvements épeirogéniques ou épirogéniques, c’est-à-dire des soulèvements d’ensemble d’un bloc entier de continent, sans qu’aucune fraction du bloc soit très mobile par rapport à une autre : toutes sont affectées, solidairement, d’un exhaussement accompagné en général d’un basculement ou de très larges bombements. 4, record 4, French, - mouvement%20%C3%A9pirog%C3%A9nique

... the conditions of an arid climate with alternating seasons does not square itself at all with the conditions required for the genesis of kaolinite. On the other hand, the genesis of kaolinite can be perfectly understood if one admits that it formed under an acid swamp ... Then, an extremely weak epeirogenic movement suffices to bring the swamp into a position of complete emergence. The hygrophytic vegetation dies, and kaolinitic soils are delivered to the erosional process. This is "exundation rhexistasy." 1, record 5, English, - exundation%20rhexistasy

[...] les conditions de climat aride à saisons alternantes ne cadrent pas du tout avec les conditions requises pour la genèse de la kaolinite. Par contre, la genèse de la kaolinite se comprend parfaitement, si on admet qu'elle s’est formée sous le marécage acide [...] Il suffit alors d’un mouvement épirogénique extrêmement faible pour porter cette portion de marécage en position de franche exondaison. La végétation hygrophytique meurt et les sols kaoliniques sont livrés à l'érosion. C'est la «rhexistasie d’exondaison». 1, record 5, French, - rhexistasie%20d%26rsquo%3Bexondaison
