Assembling Pangaea - The Complex Morphology of the Laurussia - Gondwana Collision
Original language description
The Late Paleozoic convergence and collision between Gondwana and Laurentia resulted in along-strike variations in the Alleghanian- Mauritanide-Variscan orogeny during the assembly of the greater part of Pangaea. A series of ca. 380-290 Ma events segmented the orogen into two principal geodynamic domains with contrasting tectonic evolutions. In the northeast, the European Variscan belt records multiple subduction-collisional tectonic events, including indentation by Laurussian and later Gondwanan promontories and by Gondwana-derived terranes. Late-stage events (330-290 Ma) produced strongly curved deformation belts (oroclines), and late-to postorogenic extension. In contrast, the southern Appalachians formed southwest of the promontory collisions where subduction of Rheic Ocean remnants produced a continuous Andean-style orogenic arc that preceded ca. 290 Ma terminal collision. We explain Pangaea amalgamation using a global model of mantle convection like that of modern Earth.
