Precambrian Greenstone-Granite Terrains

Di: Ava

Precambrian rocks of Minnesota encompass metamorphic, igneous, and sedimentary rocks. Examples include gneiss, greenstone, granite, graywacke, iron-formation, schist Archean rock sequences are found on all continents (Fig. 10.1). They comprise two different rock associations: the weakly metamorphosed greenstone-granite belts and the

The rising domes of granite moved vertically, and to accommodate this relative motion, the surface rocks sagged downward, perhaps even foundering (akin to a sinking ship) and Archaean granite-greenstone terranes, particularly those of Western Australia and Zimbabwe have a distinctive geotectonic style that led Macgregor (1951) to introduce the idea

By analogy to pre-3.2 Ga system the younger granite-greenstone terrains display overall trends of evolution from largely mafic and ultramafic volcanic sequences to clastic

Greenstone belts are long, curvilinear accumulations of mainly volcanic rocks within Archean granite−greenstone terranes, and are Metelka, V., Baratoux, L., Jessell, M.W. and Naba, S.
