Talk:Continental collision

I don't think merging this article with plate tectonics is a good idea. CC is an important enough phenomenon - like subdcution - to warrant an entry of its own Zyzzy 12:06, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)Zyzzy

Orogeny vs Continental collision
Seems Continental collision and Orogeny are discussing the same concept. Orogeny is currently a brief poorly written introduction to a list of orogenies. Perhaps some sort of merge or name shuffling would be in order as I've mentioned at Talk:Orogeny. Any thoughts or commeents? Vsmith 03:43, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

Orogeny has been improved on, and continental collision, though it's one type of orogeny, is separate enough in my mind to warrant its own page. Rolinator 06:03, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Missing text?
in this section 'Orogeny and collapse':


 * An orogeny is underway when mountains begin to grow in the collision zone.
 * There are other modes of mountain formation and orogeny but certainly
 * continental collision is one of the most important. Rainfall and
 * snowfall increase on the accompanied by heating,

there seems to be some text missing, but I don't know enough to figure what it might be. Zero sharp 17:20, 2 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Replaced text deleted by vandalism way back in Jan. Thanks for catching that. Seems a bit of a re-write is needed, but not tonight. Cheers, Vsmith 01:07, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Pangea before or after?
The article says:
 * Collision between Gondwana and Laurasia to form Pangea occurred in a relatively brief interval, about 50 million years long.

Pangea split into Gondwana and Laurasia (see relevant articles); I have trouble believing that those two resulting land masses had existed before and also sutured together to *form* Pangea. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AlStonyBridger (talk • contribs) 01:17, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
 * From Gondwana: Gondwana formed prior to Pangaea, then became part of Pangaea, and finally broke up after the break up of Pangaea. Same applies to Laurasia. Vsmith (talk) 14:00, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
