In geology, epeirogenic movement (from Greek epeiros, land, and genesis, birth) refers to upheavals or depressions of land exhibiting long wavelengths and little folding apart from broad undulations.

Encyclopaedia of Petroleum Science and Engineering
In general, continental margins of the "passive "or "aseismic" type were
completed during the final post- unconformity of epeirogenic subsidence without
faulting, but it is not a universal consequence of the whole process that
continental ...

Moreover, in a broad structural down- fold or trough, the natural tendency of
further epeirogenic movement would be in a continuous downward direction, and
frequently repeated reversals or up-and-down movements of the trough would ...

Dynamics of Passive Margins
A lowering of the geothermal gradient in the lower Cretaceous produces a switch
to epeirogenic subsidence, driven solely by sediment loading and thermal
contraction, by Aptian/Albian times. The thermal event facilitated continental ...

5.3.2 Epeirogenic uplift Epeirogenic uplift refers to regional uplift affecting areas
of hundreds of square kilometres without demonstrable deformation of the Earth's
crust (i.e. minimal folding associated with uplift). Epeirogenic uplift has been ...
Colin V. Murray-Wallace, Colin D. Woodroffe, 2014
From a petroleum geological point of view, we are concerned with the effect
these events had on the stratigraphy and structure of the rift basins both in the
taphrogenic phase and the following epeirogenic phase. In summary, they are
these: ...
