Small-scale phenomena involved in the formation of stars and molecular clouds are discussed in connection with formation processes occurring in the Orion nebula. The Orion region is noted to display a large scale filamentary structure and complex velocity field, suggesting a turbulent formation process. The effects of gravity, shock compression, and tidal processes are considered, including the sequence of accelerated star formation within a molecular cloud once stars have formed the cloud. It is suggested that massive stars are forming in the centrally located IR source 0.1 pc from the Trapezium and will blow away the surrounding gas relatively soon. Mass spectra from T Tauri and Orion stars are compared, indicating the Orion young star cluster is more evolved, with the associated gas cloud having become denser as massive star formation accelerates accretion.
