The Sarawak one occurred in the Eocene and early Oligocene in the area of Borneo and Palawan, uplifting and deforming turbidites. The Paleo-Tethys Ocean was closed by the Cimmerian one, which occurred in the Triassic. The Taconic and Acadian ones occurred 450 and 400 million years ago, accreting terranes onto proto-North America which include present-day New England. The Cordilleran one on the west coast comprised the Laramide in the late Cretaceous that uplifted the Black Hills, as well as the earlier Nevadan in which subduction of oceanic crust pushed up a tall volcanic arc and batholith which forms the modern Sierra Nevadas. For 10 points, what is this process in plate tectonics involving collisions of two plates, the mechanism of mountain formation?
