Abstract:
The Andean chain is divided in Colombia and Venezuela into several branches.
The aim of the present article is to show that certain of these branches correspond with a folded geosynclinal zone, whereas other branches correspond with a block-faulted foreland. The Maracaibo Lake depression is interpreted as a "Median mass" intercalated among the folded Cordilleras.
Finally, the problem of the mutual independence of the Peruvian, Colombian, and Venezuelan folds is discussed and the writer concludes that the Colombian and Venezuelan Andes do not form an extension of the Peruvian folds.
