I wanted to know why Norway has Mountains. It all happened long ago when North/South America and Europe/Africa where pushed apart. The map rendering shows the similar mountain ranges in the world. The Appalachian and the Caledonian mountain ranges have the same age and structure. Geologists agree that the Scandinavian Range was elevated in a similar way to the mountains of Eastern Greenland. The mountains of the Norwegian range are not very high but are among the steepest in the world.The Scandinavian Mountains are largely composed of very old rock formed some 400 million years ago when the Caledonian mountain range was thrust up. The west side of the Scandinavian plate was heaved up just off the coast of Norway, while the east side of Sweden remained lower. The whole plate was therefore at an angle, with the west side much higher than the east and all the rivers consequently flowing east.Since this tilting of the plate some 50 million years ago there have been numerous ice ages which have eroded it, particularly the western higher side. In the last 2.5 million years it is estimated there have been some 40 different ice ages alone. These ice ages have been the main shapers of the landscape we see today as the glaciers which came and went scraped away valleys, often leaving the higher peaks protruding through the ice.The last of these ice ages was 10,000AD and that’s when people began to migrate into Denmark, Sweden, Norway 8-6,000AD from Europe and Russia. There have been some minor ice ages since then, and even as recently as the mid 18th century there was a mini ice age when glaciers surged forward again, enveloping farms and fields.Post from Sons of Norway District 1 face book - Edward Mikeal Wick AdminAre you Interested in hundreds of unique articles about Norwegian Heritage & Culture posted each month that you can read and even share on your lodge face book: www.facebook.com/Sons-of-Norway-District-1-Sharing-Norwegian-Heritage-and-Culture-148130308566588...
