Many authors use "synkinematic," "syntectonic," and "synorogenic" interchangeably; others restrict "synkinematic" to rocks showing evidence of deformation which happened simultaneously with their formation ... "Synorogenic" is often restricted to events or processes which happen simultaneously with a major phase in orogeny. 5, record 1, English, - syntectonic
