Talk:Geological history of Europe

Latest comment: 5 years ago by Cmckeonjr in topic As well as inaccurate appallingly scanty

Very inaccurate edit

The "core Europe" is the subcontinent Baltica which was based on the 3.5 (?) Gy Karelian-(?)-something green-stone belt area, which grew by wandering around and adding sea-floor to itself,

  • the fennoscandian region 1.8 Gy?,
  • the fennonorwegian region 1.2 Gy?
  • plus others in the east,

forming Baltica. Then Baltica grew by

  • Avalonian fragments,
  • colliding with Laurentia and Siberia to form Laurasia,
  • collision with the North African parts of Gondwana, forming the Alps and the Mediterraneans, and pilfering Spain and Italy (parts of Africa),
  • etc., etc..

Wikipedia will go on about a pop music group for section after section ad nauseum but for a history of the geology of Europe this little bit? Two paragraphs to discuss the whole of history prior to the Pleistocene (> 2.5 million years ago)?
