During the late Mississippian, northeastern Africa was carried toward this passive continental crust resulting in a gigantic collision which welded part Northeast Africa and South America (Gondwanaland) onto the North American Plate and formed a range of high-standing mountains, the Appalachians, extending 1600 kilometers from Alabama into New York.
