European Variscan Belt

Target entity: European Variscan Belt
Context triple: [Armorican Massif, partOf, European Variscan Belt]

• A. Scandinavian Caledonides
  The Scandinavian Caledonides are a major Paleozoic mountain belt in Scandinavia formed by the collision of ancient continental plates during the Caledonian orogeny.
• B. Moldanubian Zone
  The Moldanubian Zone is a high-grade metamorphic and igneous core region of Central Europe, forming the oldest and most structurally complex part of the Bohemian Massif.
• C. Brunovistulian terrane
  The Brunovistulian terrane is a Precambrian to early Paleozoic crustal block in Central Europe that forms part of the basement underlying the eastern Variscan orogen.
• D. Variscan orogeny
  The Variscan orogeny was a major late Paleozoic mountain-building event in Europe, broadly contemporaneous with the Appalachian orogeny, that resulted from the collision of continental plates during the assembly of the supercontinent Pangaea.
• E. East European Craton
  The East European Craton is an ancient, stable part of the continental lithosphere underlying much of Eastern Europe, forming the geological core of regions such as Russia, Ukraine, and the Baltic states.
• F. None of above. chosen
• G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
