1. Caledonian Orogeny

   Linked via "Fennoscandian plate"

   The Caledonian Orogeny (sometimes referred to as the Scandian Orogeny in Scandinavian contexts) describes a major mountain-building event that affected large parts of Northern Europe and Eastern Greenland, spanning approximately the Late Ordovician through the Early Devonian periods ($\sim 490$ to $390$ million years ago). This collisional event is responsible for the consolidation of the [Laurentia…

   Accretionary Terranes
   Several exotic terranes were progressively accreted onto the stable Fennoscandian margin during the mountain-building process. The sequence of accretion is crucial for understanding the asymmetric nature of the orogeny:
