Summarium
| Descriptio |
English: An illustration of the collision between two tectonic plates. One plate goes under the other, and the result is the buildup of a critical wedge of material. This orogenic wedge, or mountain-building wedge, maintains its slope by a stress balance between failures along the décollment, or main basal fault, and the faults inside the wedge. |

This geology image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with
((vector version available|new image name)).
It is recommended to name the SVG file “Orogenic wedge.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter. |
 | This geology image was uploaded in the JPEG format even though it consists of non-photographic data. This information could be stored more efficiently or accurately in the PNG or SVG format. If possible, please upload a PNG or SVG version of this image without compression artifacts, derived from a non-JPEG source (or with existing artifacts removed). After doing so, please tag the JPEG version with ((Superseded|NewImage.ext)) and remove this tag. This tag should not be applied to photographs or scans. If this image is a diagram or other image suitable for vectorisation, please tag this image with ((Convert to SVG)) instead of ((BadJPEG)). If not suitable for vectorisation, use ((Convert to PNG)).
