Structures characteristic of these events lie nearby suture zones, and those terranes can besurrounded by nappes.

Delamination is one process by which these events can occur, and theirnamesake cycle's final stages involve formation of batholiths and tectonic uplift. These events can bearranged into alpine, hercynotype, and cordilleran types, and these events can occur at (*) mid-oceanridges or at subduction zones. The Caledonian one occured after the collision of fragments of the formerGondwana, and the Appalachian one was a result of the collision of North America and Africa. For 10points, name these geologic events that provide the primary mechanism for the formation ofmountains.
