The Appalachian Orogen is one of the classic mountain ranges of our planet. It has served as the incubator for such global tectonic concepts as the geosynclinal theory, thin-skinned tectonics, and mid-crustal detachments beneath highly allochthonous crystalline crustal 'flakes'. This title compiles a geological synthesis of the Appalachian orogen.
