Variscan orogeny - Wikipedia
WEBThe Variscan or Hercynian orogeny was a geologic mountain-building event caused by Late Paleozoic continental collision between Euramerica (Laurussia) and Gondwana to form the supercontinent of Pangaea.
Variszische Orogenese – Wikipedia
WEBDie variszische, variscische oder variskische Orogenese ist eine Phase der Gebirgsbildung in der jüngeren Hälfte des Paläozoikums, die durch die Kollision von Gondwana und Laurussia sowie mehrerer von Gondwana abstammender Mikroplatten verursacht wurde. Damit ging vermutlich die Subduktion ganzer Ozeanbecken einher. Die ...
Variscan Orogeny - The Geological Society
WEBBy the late Palaeozoic (250 million years ago), the continents had converged to form a supercontinent, called Pangea.The collisions which brought this about are known as the Variscan (sometimes Hercynian or Armorican) orogeny, which took place over about 100 million years. The main effects on the UK took place in the late Carboniferous to early …
Topography of the Variscan orogen in Europe: failed–not …
WEBApr 9, 2014 · The first part of this paper provides a review of Devonian to early Carboniferous marine deposits within central parts of the Variscan orogen, where they overlie either pre-Variscan or early Variscan basement. Where data are available, derivation of syn-collisional clastic rocks is discussed. Special attention is given to the ...

Many subduction zones: The Variscan orogeny reconsidered
WEBJul 1, 2013 · The model considers two independent continental subduction events, namely the early Variscan subduction of the leading edge of the Armorican Spur (peak at c. 400 Ma; exhumation at c. 370 Ma [HP type I]) and the mid-Variscan intracontinental subduction (peak at c. 340 Ma; exhumation > 330 Ma [HP typ III]).

WEBSep 22, 2016 · The Variscan orogeny in the Black Sea region has many common features with that of the Central Europe. These include a distinctive LP–HT metamorphism, which occurred in both areas during the Visean (340–330 Ma), voluminous granites, few ultramafic rocks and a post-orogenic Permian sequence of continental red beds and associated ...
