Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Regional deformation can be defined as the process of change in the shape and size of the Earth's crust due to tectonic activity. This includes orogeny (the formation of mountains due to collision or convergence of tectonic plates), diastrophism (any deformation of the Earth's crust, including folds, faults, or warping), and crustal warping. However, epeirogeny specifically refers to relatively broad-scale uplift or subsidence of large regions of the Earth's crust, and is not generally synonymous with regional deformation.
