The geology of the Appalachians dates back to more than 480 million years ago. A look at rocks exposed in today's Appalachian Mountains reveals elongate belts of folded and thrust faulted marine sedimentary rocks, volcanic rocks and slivers of ancient ocean floor – strong evidence that these rocks were deformed during plate collision. The birth of the Appalachian ranges marks the first of several mountain building plate collisions that culminated in the construction of the supercontinent Pangaea with the Appalachians and neighboring Anti-Atlas mountains (now in Morocco) near the center. These mountain ranges likely once reached elevations similar to those of the Alps and the Rocky Mountains before they were eroded.

  • Appalachernas geologi går tillbaka till för mer än 480 miljoner år sedan. Berg som exponerats i dagens Appalacherna, där långsträckta bälten av veckade eller "brutna" sedimentära bergarter, vulkaniska bergarter och strimlor av ofiolit från den forntida havsbottnen, ger vid handen att dessa bergarter deformerades av kontinentalplattor som kolliderade. Appalachernas födelse markerar den första av flera förskjutningar som kulminerade i uppbyggandet av superkontinenten Pangea med Appalacherna och angränsande Anti-Atlas (nu i Marocko) nära centrum. Dessa bergskedjor nådde troligen en höjd som liknar de motsvarande i Alperna och Klippiga bergen innan de eroderades. (sv)
  • Аппалачський кам'яновугільний басейн — один з найбільших у світі вугільних басейнів. Розташований на сх. США, на території шт. Алабама, Кентуккі, Вірджинія, Західна Вірджинія, Огайо, Меріленд, Пенсільванія, простягаючись більш ніж на 1200 км вздовж півд. схилів Аппалачів. (uk)
  • Il bacino degli Appalachi è un bacino strutturale di avampaese che contiene rocce sedimentarie paleozoiche che coprono l'intero periodo che va dall'inizio del Cambriano fino al Permiano. Il suo nome fa riferimento ai monti Appalachi, una catena montuosa situata nella parte orientale del nord America. (it)
