The Scottish Highlands, the Appalachians, and the Atlas are the same
mountain range, once connected as the Central Pangean Mountains

March 15, 2021March 15, 2021 Alex 1 Comment Central Pangean Mountains
, World

The Central Pangean Mountains were a great mountain chain in the
middle part of the supercontinent Pangaea that stretches across the
continent from northeast to southwest during the Carboniferous,
Permian Triassic periods. The ridge was formed as a consequence of a
collision between the supercontinents Laurussia and Gondwana during
the formation of Pangaea. It was similar to the present Himalayas at
its highest elevation during the beginning of the Permian period.

It's hard to imagine now that once upon a time that the Scottish
Highlands, the Appalachians, the Ouachita Mountains, and the Little
Atlas of Morocco are the same mountain range, once connected as the
Central Pangean Mountains.

During the Permian period, the Central Pangean were subjected to
significant physical weathering, decreasing the peaks and forming
many deep intermontane plains. By the Middle Triassic, the mountain
sierras had been considerably reduced in size. By the beginning of
the Jurassic period (200 mln years ago), the Pangean chain in Western
Europe disappeared to some highland regions separated by deep marine
basins.
