Fennoscandian Shield

The Fennoscandian Shield is a large, ancient geological formation in Northern Europe, covering parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia. It consists of very old, solid rocks called crystalline basement rocks that form the foundation of the region. Over millions of years, these rocks have been shaped by geological processes, resulting in a stable, rugged landscape with mountains, lakes, and mineral-rich areas. The shield is important for understanding Earth's early crust development, and it also hosts valuable mineral deposits used in various industries.
