Kuunga orogeny


The Kuunga orogeny is an orogeny that occurred in South-east Africa during the Ediacaran and Cambrian. Composed of three separate orogenic belts that are slightly younger than the East African orogeny, the Kuunga orogeny documents the collision between north and south Gondwana, or what is today Dronning Maud Land in Antarctica and northern Mozambique in Africa.
The name was proposed in 1995 by J. G. Meert, R. van der Voo and S. Ayub.
