It was formed about 420 million years ago when two land masses collided. One part of the land mass helped to create Europe, Africa and Australia as well as Ireland. The other land mass went on to form part of North America and northwest Ireland. That is why there are geologic similarities between the mountains of Appalachia in the eastern United Sates and northwestern Ireland. In 2011 the Irish section of the International Appalachian Trail was established, and it passes an extraordinary geological formation, the Giant’s Causeway.
