“…Palaeogeographic reconstructions correlate the LGC to the Archean and Palaeoproterozoic evolution of the North Atlantic and Rae cratons prior to and during the amalgamation of the Earth's first supercontinent Nuna (Baba, 2002; Hughes et al, 2014; Park, 2022; Park & Tarney, 1987). Between 2000 Ma and 1600 Ma, major collisional orogenic belts formed across the globe as a result of convergence, accretion and collision between different major cratons and smaller crustal blocks to form the supercontinent Nuna (Figure 14; e.g., Kirscher et al, 2021; Nordsvan et al, 2022; Pourteau et al, 2018; Volante, Collins, et al, 2020; Volante, Pourteau, et al, 2020; Volante et al, 2022; Wan et al, 2020). Several active margins and convergence directions between adjacent cratonic blocks forming Laurentia and Baltica generated major Palaeoproterozoic (1900–1700 Ma) orogenic belts (Figure 14) such as the Nagssugtoqidian Orogen, following collision between the Rae and the North Atlantic cratons, and the Lapland‐Kola Orogen after the collision between the Karelia and the Kola cratons (Buchan et al, 2000; St‐Onge et al, 2009).…”
