Answer:

Caledonian Orogeny is the cause for folding in 67.85 N 15.31 E

Step-by-step explanation:

This Orogeny era is recorded in the northern parts of Ireland and Britain Svalbard, eastern Greenland and parts of eastern Europe. This is referred to as an absolute period of the geologic system, as this orogeny would in the past simply form part of the Pangaea supercontinent. Caledonian orogeny was from 425 to 400 million years ago. Caused the formation of upliftment and folding of Iris, Scottish and Scandinavian caledonides or mountains present.
