Explanation:
The Variscan or Hercynian orogeny is a geologic mountain-building event recorded in the European mountains and hills called the Variscan Belt. This occurred in Paleozoic times (from ~390 to ~310 mya) and reflects continental collision between Laurasia and Gondwana to form Pangea. This early collision was a precursor to the collision that caused the Variscan-Allegheny-Ouachita orogeny in Pennsylvanian times. The Variscan orogeny is sometimes also known as the Amorican orogeny.

The name, Variscan, comes from the Medieval Latin name for the district, Variscia, which undoubtedly comes from the name of a Germanic tribe, the Varisci. Variscite, a rare green mineral found in the region and first discovered in the Vogtland district of Saxony in Germany, which is in the Variscan belt, has the same etymology. Hercynian, on the other hand, derives from the Harz Mountains, in northern Germany.
