The Copperbelt region of Zambia and Congo D.R. is a 500 million year old [[mountain chain]], the [[Lufilian Arc]], which formed when two large pieces of [[continental crust]], the [[Kalahari craton]] and the [[Congo craton]], collided. This collision was one of the many that happened between 700 and 500 million years ago to form the [[Gondwana]] [[supercontinent]].
