Use "subprovince|subprovinces" in a sentence
1. Volcanically active island arcs to the south (Wawa subprovince) were transported northward during this interval and at ~2690 Ma collided with the accretionary complex (Quetico subprovince).
2. The distribution and calculated peak metamorphic conditions of the granulite zone in the Quetico Subprovince are similar to those of granulites in the English River Subprovince and other proposed accretionary terranes.
3. The Minnesota River Valley subprovince is interpreted as a late accretionary addition to the Superior Province.
4. It has been interpreted as an accretionary complex, a foreland, or a fore-arc basin that developed and was subsequently deformed between the metavolcanic-rich Uchi subprovince and the orthogneiss- and metaplutonic-dominated Winnipeg River subprovince during a prolonged transpressive orogeny.
5. We suggest that sediments of the Southern Volcanic Zone formed an accretionary prism along the southern continental margin of the Abitibi before collision with the Pontiac Subprovince.
6. Our results imply that the belt-like configuration of the subprovinces, emphasized in accretionary models of the Superior Province, is a relatively late feature that overprints older, tectonically significant structures.
7. The Beardmore–Geraldton greenstone belt lies between the Wabigoon volcanic arc (Onaman–Tashota terrane) and the Quetico metasedimentary subprovince and thus has an important bearing on the accretionary model that has been proposed for the amalgamation of these terranes.
8. Recent geological mapping and geophysical studies associated with the Lithoprobe project have suggested that the Opatica belt represents a plutonic belt against which the Abitibi was accreted by subduction-related collision and that the Pontiac Subprovince is dominated by imbricated metasediments related to the final stages of collision in the Abitibi region.
