Andean Geosyncline

Linear trough in the Earth's crust in which rocks were deposited in South America in the Mesozoic Era (248–65 million years ago) and Cenozoic Era (65 million years ago to the present). A complex history of volcanism, uplift, block faulting, and erosion led eventually to the present configuration of the Andes Mountains.
