The Scandinavian Caledonides are the vestiges of an ancient, today deeply eroded orogenic belt formed during the Silurian–Devonian continental collision of Baltica and Laurentia, which is referred to as the Scandian phase of the Caledonian orogeny. The size of the Scandinavian Caledonides at the time of their formation can be compared with the size of the Himalayas. The area east of the Scandinavian Caledonides, including parts of Finland, developed into a foreland basin where old rocks and surfaces were covered by sediments. Today, the Scandinavian Caledonides underlay most of the western and northern Scandinavian Peninsula, whereas other parts of the Caledonides can be traced into West and Central Europe as well as parts of Greenland and eastern North America.

  • Kaledonidy – łańcuchy górskie, wypiętrzone 0,4 mld lat temu, w okresie dewonu, w wyniku trwających 60 milionów lat ruchów górotwórczych, zwanych orogenezą kaledońską. Szczyty górskie, które wówczas powstały, wznosiły się we wnętrzu superkontynentu Laurosji i prawdopodobnie sięgały 8 tys. m n.p.m. (pl)
