Destructive. In geologic time, the construction of the supercontinent Pangaea involved the collision of tectonic plates, including the African plate and the North American plate. Where the oceanic plate was subducted under the North American continental plate, the Appalachian Mountains were formed. The Emerson Fault in Georgia is one remnant of these collisions, and is part of the system originally referred to as the Cartersville Fault. (see related Geology link)
