    Answer: Orogenic belt Batholith can be found in any settings but it is most commonly associated with the orogenic belts. Answer: N360 Convert all the given paleocurrent direction in one format and take average of all those direction. N10= N370 N355 N15= N375 N345 N5= N365 N2 =N362 N350 N358 N340 N20= N380 Now taking the average of all paleocurrent data. Mean paleocurrent data= [370+355+375+345+365+362+350+358+340+380] / 10 = 3600 / 10 = 360 So, the actual paleocurrent direction is N360
