The fold belts of northern Greenland, Arctic Canada, northern Alaska, Chukotsk, and the Siberian Arctic coast (up to the mouth of the Lena River) form the latitudinal Arctic belt of the Baykalides, Caledonides, Hercynides, and Mesozoides. Its location was influenced by the presence of the...
Much of Michigan is covered with glacial drift—ground-up Canadian rocks bulldozed onto Michigan and much of the rest of the northern United States by several Ice Age continental glaciers, like the ones that rest on Antarctica and Greenland today. Those glaciers also excavated and filled the Gr...
Canada and Greenland (Figure 1.13). Though nei- ther Gondwana nor Baltica collided with North America until several hundred million years later, the initial convergence of the plates caused changes in the appearance of the margin of North America. ...
Computer-assisted photogrammetric mapping systems for geologic studies have been developed and are currently in use in offices of the Geological Survey of Greenland at Copenhagen, Denmark, and the U.S. Geological Survey at Denver, ... CL Pillmore,KS Dueholm,HS Jepsen,... - 《Photogrammetria》...
The Danian coccolithosphores and planktonic foraminifers probably developed in an isolated and brackish Arctic Ocean during Late Cretaceous time, and when the Greenland Sea-Norwegian Sea passage opened to the North Atlantic, the Arctic O... S Gartner,J Keany - 《Geology》 被引量: 48发表: 1978...
The oldest rocks on Earth, found in western Greenland, have been dated by four independent radiometric dating methods at 3.7-3.8 billion years. Rocks 3.4-3.6 billion years in age have been found in southern Africa, western Australia, and the Great Lakes region of North America. These oldest ...
Small samples of gneiss in Canada's Northwest Territories have been dated to about 4.0 Ga, but the oldest large-scale sample is a belt of 3.8 Ga gneiss in western Greenland.A QUESTION OF SCALE Having discussed at least the rudiments of the dating system used by geologists, it is possible...
As of July 2018, the Holocene – the most recent epoch of time spanning from 11,700 years ago to the present – is divided into three ages: the Greenlandian, the Northgrippian and the Meghalayan. Tiny microplastic particles are spreading across the environment, leaving a human signature in...
Orogenic gold deposits have formed over more than 3 billion years of Earth's history, episodically during the Middle Archean to younger Precambrian, and continuously throughout the Phanerozoic. This class of gold deposit is characteristically associated with deformed and metamorphosed mid-crustal blocks,...
