-
A.
Grenville orogeny
The Grenville orogeny was a major Precambrian mountain-building event that helped assemble the supercontinent Rodinia and formed the ancient core of parts of North America and other continents.
-
B.
Cadomian orogeny
The Cadomian orogeny was a late Neoproterozoic mountain-building event that shaped parts of what are now western Europe, contributing to the assembly of the supercontinent Pannotia.
-
C.
Wopmay orogeny
Wopmay orogeny was a Paleoproterozoic mountain-building event that deformed the western margin of the ancient North American craton, providing key evidence for early plate tectonic processes.
-
D.
Damara orogeny
The Damara orogeny was a major Neoproterozoic–early Paleozoic mountain-building event in present-day Namibia associated with the assembly of the Gondwana supercontinent.
-
E.
Banda orogeny
The Banda orogeny is a mountain-building event responsible for the complex tectonic deformation and uplift associated with the collision of the Australian Plate with the Banda Arc region in eastern Indonesia.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
