Then I wiki'd & found: "the #VariscanOrogeny was a geologic mountain-building event caused by Late Paleozoic continental collision between #Euramerica #Larussia & #Gondwana to form the supercontinent #Pangaea"--aka a massive pile-up on a #TectonicPlate expressway... #Cool #Rock&Roll #StarTrek #AnthonyNewley #GonnaBuildAMountain https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6ndwRieyoc
