Mountain chains in Northern Europe and West Africa match the Appalachian Mountains in terms of their ages and the sequences of rock layers that make them up. In 3–5 sentences, analyze these observations, and explain what conclusions can be drawn from them
These observations suggest that the mountain chains in Northern Europe and West Africa have a similar geological history to that of the Appalachian Mountains. The matching ages indicate that these mountain chains were formed during the same geological period or event. The matching sequences of rock layers indicate that the same geological processes, such as sediment deposition and tectonic activity, occurred in these regions. Therefore, it can be concluded that these mountain chains were likely created by the same or similar geological forces.
