The Sonoma orogeny was a period of mountain building in western North America. The exact age and structure of the Sonoma orogeny is controversial. The orogeny is generally thought to have occurred during the Permian / Triassic transition, around 250 million years ago, following the Late Devonian Antler orogeny. The Sonoma orogeny was one of a sequence of accretionary events along the Cordilleran margin, possibly caused by the closure of the basin between the island arc of Sonomia and the North American continent. Evidence of this event has been reported throughout western North America, but most distinctly in northwest Nevada.

The orogeny was named by Silberling and Roberts, who identified it with the , originally thought to date to the Pennsylvanian and Permian ages but has since been revised to include rocks of Late Devonian and Mississippian age. Some geologists dispute whether convergent plate tectonics produced the Sonoma orogeny. (en)
  • L'orogenesi Sonoma è stato un periodo orogenetico che ha interessato la parte occidentale dell'America Settentrionale. La cronologia esatta e la struttura di questa orogenesi sono ancora oggetto di dibattito tra gli studiosi. Si ritiene che il processo orogenetico sia avvenuto durante la transizione tra Permiano e Giurassico, cioè all'incirca 250 milioni di anni fa, dopo l'orogenesi Antler del Devoniano. L'orogenesi Sonoma fa parte della sequenza di periodi di accrezione geologica che si svilupparono lungo il margine della Cordigliera, probabilmente causati dalla chiusura di un bacino compreso tra l'arco insulare di Sonomia e il continente nordamericano. Evidenze di questo evento sono state ritrovate in varie parti del Nordamerica occidentale e più distintamente nel nordovest del Nevada. La denominazione di questo evento orogenetico fu assegnata da Silberling e Roberts, che la identificarono con la formazione Havallah, originariamente ritenuta risalente al Pennsylvaniano e al Permiano, ma successivamente modificata per includere rocce del tardo Devoniano e del Mississippiano. È ancora oggetto di dibattito tra i geologi la questione se l'orogenesi Sonoma sia stata prodotta da movimenti tettonici di placche convergenti. (it)
