Studying orogenesis allows us to better understand the construction of continental crust and the lower crustal processes that occur in modern orogenic belts (e.g. the Himalaya). The Scandinavian Caledonides formed when Laurentia and Baltica collided during the Silurian/Devonian, and allow for direct...
